Forced to use Flash

A lot of Educational Institutions outsource their entire IT to WhatsApp / Google-Docs / Office365 etc... And for dessert? - Flash!

1. Anyone know what the threat landscape is like for Firefox -> Add-ons -> Adobe-Flash -> Always-Ask??? Can a loaded webpage bypass this in-browser setting... Has there been any reports?

2. How about Office365 / Google-Docs virus-scanning etc, are these tech giants successful at rooting out these types of attacks, anyone know?
