But if your flash cookies are flushed, then the original price is displayed...
Anyway, Flush is easy to use, it works and it's free...

It is therefore useless.

Whenever I run Flush, I get the following:
File
Computer HDName:
Users:Shortname:Library:Prefereences:Macromedia:
Flash Player wasn’t found.
And then I must quit Terminal.
Has anyone else had this experience?

I want to apologize to the Flush developer for not restricting my comments to the software. I have used Flush for quite some time, find it useful and recommend it to people I know. It does what it says it will do

Go to the following folders and move all you find to the trash:
Your Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects
Your Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys
Go back to the Flash Player Folder. Do a Get Info on the #SharedObjects and macromedia.com folders. Lock them. Restart computer and you should be good to go.
You can check if this works by going to Hulu then see if Flush finds any Flash cookies.

I only wish there were a scheduling capability/preference so I could automatically run it daily.
