Plug Ins

Back when the world wide web just barely began, about the only things you could send or use was text, links, and pictures, but no one likes limitations most of the time, so people created plug-ins. Plug-ins are simply software like Adobe Flash Player, allowing you to do stuff, like chat rooms with multiple friends, even face to face, videos, games, more interactions. In fact your web browser doesn't interface with a plug-in nearly at all, in a sense it gives it a corner and steps aside a little bit, causing the plug-in to work with most browsers and create a risk for you browser security. This can create huge problems... really big problems especially if you are running plug-ins that aren't up to date. If you use and old plug-in, anyone out there can see what extra security they added in the last update, then make loop holes into your security through the missing security features in your plug-in. But the risk is lowering, some browsers even automatically update some for you, for example Google Chrome worked with Adobe Flash Player to allow Adobe Flash Player to automatically update itself while you run Google Chrome, but even as they are starting to find ways to updated themselves, it would definitely be a good idea, just to see if you are running the most updated versions.
