Flash, adblock, etc.

Dear forum,
I am receiving numerous messages that I do not have Flash installed for Iron. Can someone provide instructions for installing Flash?
Also, I installed the adblock INI file, and am still seeing a lot of ads. Is this normal?
Thank you!

What adblock.ini does is to block loading images, flash, javascript(.js) or html documents by URL.
If I write "googlead" in adblock.ini, then Iron blocks every URL which contains "googlead" in it.
Here's an example. This is part of my adblock.ini:
.. and so on. You can edit adblock.ini with editor.(like notepad) You need to run editor on admin account.
Obviously this is not a convenient UI, and that is why Iron has new extension and userscript feature.
Now you can use ad-blocking scripts and extensions just like Firefox does. Try googling, it is easy to figure out how to do it.

i remember having some problems with flash when i first started using iron and i think everything was solved after downloading and installing the corect version from adobe. iirc you need to have both versions if you also use internet explorer.
