Must change your video format on the website!

It is an EXTREMELY bad idea for people to have the program called Adobe Flash on their computer. The risks are really serious. I have removed that program from my computer and now I am no longer able to watch the videos of the products online. QVC surely has enough tech staff to know that this is happening. Shoppers, UNINSTALL Adobe Flash immediately from your computers. QVC IT, get with the times!

Actually, most video streaming utilizes Flash, so it is you, rather than QVC, that needs to "get with the times."

 

QVC will utilize the format used by most people.  If you do not wish to use it, you are only hurting yourself.

She's actually speaking the truth.  You don't need to delete it, but it's a good idea to update it.

You need flash to view video or streaming content on a PC.  It's not QVC.  Don't unistall, upgrade the security

I hope that none of your computers get hijacked. Look it up. I would never trust the updates either. I was merely trying to help out. You don't need to "trust me", but you are trusting many attackers waiting to get in on your vulnerabilities through Flash.

I am not "hurting" myself by not seeing QVC videos. I see some in the community are still mean. SMH

 If you are running Windows 8.1 or 10, this update is automatic. It is a part of a Windows update. If you have Windows 7, it is a manual update.

 

I use two free programs to check installed updates CCleaner and Belarc Advisor.

She's telling the truth I checked it out with my geek. Main thing is update daily he said. I know how she feels whenever you try to help or spread news to help others you get kicked in the teeth, so, it makes you bitter and you don't want to help your fellow man any more.

 

I checked out and sent the link to my pc guru he said Flash has always been open to vulnerbilities. Make sure you have the latest version, don't go down 'bad roads' in first place and update all antivirus, malware, spyware, etc.

 

I got Windows 10. Thank you for alerting us to this.

Thanks @ThreeKidsandADog ... I feel the same you. I uninstalled my adobe flash after the last threat and now there is another known threat and warning to update Adobe flash.

 

QVC must have updated the product pages and I can no long watch videos either.  I am not sure if I want re-install the program or probably just forget watching the QVC videos, since this is another new security risk issue with Adobe Flash.

There will always be an AFP threat. You can not view the video on QVC without the latest AFP.  You may not be able to watch video on other sites too.
