HP Media Center XP SP3

"Suspicious Behavior"

Adobe Flash Player Installer/uninstaller 11.4r402 is trying to change the system behavior for executable files. This may allow a suspicious program to start every time you run any application.

Remember this setting.

Allow Deny

I click Remember and Deny.

It just comes back.

Should I allow it? Sounds creepy to me.

TIA

Sue

Are you trying to get this update directly from the Adobe web site? If no, they I certainly would not trust this update. Just my $.02.

No, this is a Zone Alarm message.

OK, the popup is gone but what are you now using for a firewall? If you use Vista is has a satisfactory firewall but if you use XP then the MS firewall only stops incoming and does nothing to stop things already on your computer phoning home.

I would try one of 3 options there perhaps. Someone else may come up with a simpler fix if you care to wait a while, you are in no danger. Reboot and try again. Or open Windows Explorer, find and delete the log file mentioned and try the install again. Failing that I would download the whole Zonealarm program (being sure to stay on the free version). Then remove your internet connection, use the Add/Remove to get rid the current Zonealarm and install the downloaded program. Here is a link that might be useful: Free Zonealarm download site

Sue, as far as I know, this is a valid offer. I got the same message, and I have been pondering whether I want to go this route. I currently use AVAST as my AV, along with ZA as my firewall. Not sure if I want to change and give the combination suite a try or not. If you do decide to go this route, you must uninstall whatever you are presently using as your AV since you don't want two AV programs running at the same time. I'm holding off for now, and if I should read lots of good things about the ZA suite, maybe I'll change to it if it's still being offered for free.

I will rephrase. If your most recent install or update of an Adobe product came directly from the Adobe site, then I would view that as a trusted source and I would tell Zone Alarm to allow it. That's just my opinion. If that doesn't work for you then I would get in contact with ZA and find out how to get ZA to do what you want.

On the other hand, if your most recent install or update of an Adobe product did not come directly from the Adobe site then it's possible that whatever you put on your computer is infected and Zone Alarm is trying to warn you. I would be very suspicious of installing anything related to Adobe from any source other than the Adobe site.

So tell us...where did your most recent install or update of an Adobe product come from?

It is just Flash Player trying to update to the latest version I suspect. Zonealarm is doing it's job. Allow if you want the update.

There is a new update to Flash Player. I subscribe to Corinne's newsletter and use the links she provides to update Flash Player on my machines. There are separate downloads for IE and for other browsers, so if you use a browser other than IE, it is important to get that version of FP also.

Sorry for the delay in getting back.

I took Owbist's advice and allowed the update.

I just now checked and I have the latest update.

Thanks to all for your replies.
