I tried repairing preferences and re installing the Flash. Barrie, the institute recommended nNOT to use Chrome as a browser based on the opinion of their IT.

I just saw this on the news and googled for the information. Looks like we will be seeing a fix soon for this soon. Here it is:

Howdy.

Apple has just released iOS 7.0.1 which may be a fix for the lock
screen issue.

iOS 7.0.1 has to do with a Touch ID and purchase "vulnerability."

Dan,

Yep, they only *seemed* to close. Have you never double-clicked the Home
button before?

Howdy.

I guess not on the double-click of Home. Feeling a bit chagrined.

It's odd to have missed something like that for years but then I bet
I'm not the only one to have missed it.

Howdy.

The "group" iOS 7 Folder thing is right. An iOS 7 Folder holds fewer
icons and has to have a 2nd screen that you slide to. That solves the
problem of a limited number of icons in a folder in iOS 6 and prior but
it still seems a waste of good space.

The percent of updated iDevices is interesting because it points up one
of the major problems with Android which has recently being getting a
lot of press attention. The problem is the fragmentation of Android
with hundreds of makers and suppliers, with some devices never being
upgraded by a new Android OS because the maker won't do it, and with
many versions of Android making it very difficult to produce apps that
work on all versions.
