Flash Upload Problems
I had a conversation with some guys at the Adobe Bugbase about problems that were reported concerning the upload features of Flash on any browser.
It occurred to me that Antivirus Softwares were interrupting the process of uploading files to a server over the Adobe Flash Plugin by taking the whole file and then buffering it to the server. This is why the upload progress reaches 100% very fast and in addition to that it decreases the upload speed since the whole file is going through virus checks before it’s streamed to the server.
For now I agree with the fact that those Antivirus Programs interfers with the upload functions of the Adobe Flash Plugin in any Browser:
(Tested with Flash 10, all versions but I’m assuming that this happens to all versions of the Adobe Flash Player)
Windows:
AVG Free 9.0
McAfee 4.001494
I try to keep updating the list, but if anybody out there knows of more, let us all know!
