google analytics has a non flash version

Glad to have it without the need to install an always updating flash plug-in, which might taken in the virus from it’s vulnerability. It’s just coincidence that I have just give up to install flash on my main computer. Because a couple of days ago, it is a virus get into my computer from one of these plug-ins: JRE, flash, etc, I am not sure which one exactly, it must be one of them. You don’t have to download and double click on the exe, those virus could get executed even when you just navigate your Firefox to it’s URL. So I made a decision to use as less plug-in as possible, and try my best to avoid JRE and flash. Also it makes system faster. In the case that you really need them, try to install them on an isolated virtual machine.
Will you keep installing those plug-ins? What do you think?
