It is my understanding that Google Chrome will be switching everything to HTML 5 shortly giving the user a choice if Adobe is absolutely necessary. Firefox is already using HTML5 on all You Tube videos and you can set Firefox to prevent Flash and open it at your request with a pop-up at the top of the page that asks "allow-continue blocking-, or allow once". Very safe. I would recommend for peace of mind you might want to consider sophos. I installed it and it works great in Linux and it is free with many free tools available.
