> More than 60 million photos or messages are sent each day through an app called Snapchat and then, after they are viewed for a few seconds, the missives vanish. That disappearing act — and a volume that is over a tenth of the well-established Facebook’s — has made the tiny start-up a technology hit, amassing millions of users and the backing of some of the most respected names in Silicon Valley, even though it doesn’t make any money.

> The first step is to uninstall Flash by using Adobe’s official uninstaller application. This completely removes Flash from your system, making it impossible for an attacker to target it.
