Re: Flash, ActiveX, Office doc embedding/scripting - should already be DISABLED
I have become used to receiving significant volumes of MS Word documents, like theses, containing multiple media types. Is there a practical alternative?
I tend to open external docs with LibreOffice - it's about the strongest argument to have at least an install on the PC (and, let's face it, it doesn't burn a hole in the IT budget either).
If not, what effective precautions can be taken?
Start with killing off anything "automatic". Do some surfing, plenty of advice out there.
And get rid of Flash. Just do it.
