Flash Player Active X.

All need updating. Win 7 laptop.

When I go to the sites to update, it includes a McAfee scan which I see no way around. No box to uncheck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Mikie! I went directly to the websites (Adobe.com) and they had the McAfee scan. How did you do that???

Laptop hadn't been used for 8 months so there was a zillion updates and took forever.

Thank you so much for the help. You are the best!

Snidely's comments about mainstream web sites are right on target. Such sites are usually run by knowledgeable webmasters who know how to keep their site secure and are prompt to take action if the site is attacked. Infected ads can happen, though and here is where a little common sense can pay a huge dividend. When you think you might want to click on an ad, make a decision about how important the product/service being offered is to you. If it is important, make an effort to locate the provider's web site yourself rather than depending on the ad to take you there. If you think that's too much work, then think about the potential downsides of an infected computer which could include fraud and/or identity theft. Persons who try to practice safe computing generally don't stumble into trouble. Persons who refuse to practice safe computing don't have to go looking for trouble...it will find them soon enough.

DA, watch that thinking while eating lunch...it's bad for the digestion! However it is much appreciated. Below are the answers to your questions. 1. Have you tried FF bare boned with not add-ons to see if this occurs? Ans. Yes 2. Have you tried a prior version of FF? Ans, Yes, just a few minutes ago. I un-installed ver 11.0 and installed the older 10.0.2 in it's place. I also un-installed Flash Player and re-installed that again. ...still the same results after shutting down and re-starting! 3. Do you have FF set to delete history when closing? Ans, No. Thanks, Horton.

You can try completely uninstalling Adobe Flash ... Followed by restarting your computer. Download the full installer and install it. Adobe Flash Uninstaller tool; http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash download for Mozilla browsers; http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash download for Internet Exporer browser and some IntantMessengers too (active x); http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_ax.exe At least then you can know you have Flash installed correctly. A script on this page is behaving poorly .. doesn't necessarily mean adobe flash is causing the problem. Windows has built in scripting. - And - You have a popup blocker and advertising blockers that block some scripting and that is usually the cause of that type of message - combined with poorly written page code to avoid causing that problem with adv & popup blockers. Another words its a website problem usually.

I found some step by step instructions from AumHa Forums. A caveat before you start...back up the registry before making any changes. If you don't know how to do this, please ask and I will offer step by step instructions. The steps to uninstall non functioning Adobe Flash Player and replace it with Adobe Flash Player 9 Stand Alone: Download the following two applications: Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157 Adobe Flash Player 9 Stand-alone Installer (NB: Link to the Direct Download of the updated executable): http://www.macromedia.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_ie Check in Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, for any entry "Adobe Flash Player Active X" and uninstall the entry. With no other application running, run the Uninstaller you downloaded earlier. In the Registry editor (regedit), navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Code Store Database\DistributionUnits\(D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000) In the Left-hand pane, right-click on the key (folder) named (D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000), and choose Delete. Exit the registry editor. Reboot your computer. With no other application running, run the Adobe Flash Player 9 stand-alone installation you downloaded earlier. Reboot your computer. Open IE and Test. Be sure to check under Tools, Manage Add-ons, that the Flash Player 9 is enabled. Pam Here is a link that might be useful: AumHa Forums

I would not install Zone Alarm on a Windows 7 computer, if that's what you're suggesting.

What Anti Virus is installed?

The MS firewall on Windows 7 and newer is fine. No need for a third party firewall.

Most softwares If you visit their support sites will have direct downloads. But its not always in plain view. Maybe I've visited support sites too much for too many years.

I never have liked 3rd party firewalls.. but understand some are accustomed to them....

Thanks Mikie, again! It is the same one I tried to install. It has their toolbar. Its almost impossible to get rid of it once installed. They have made it mandatory to take their seach toolbar with the free ZA. Probably even throw it in with the paid version.

Last year you could install by clicking 'skip all offers' but even clicking it installs the search toolbar.

I'm running Win XP and need a firewall.

Doesn't XP have a firewall?

It does, but they say it's a one way Firewall, you can Google XP Firewall

It's been said that the xp Firewall blocks incoming, but not out going, I'd have to read it again to see exactly how inadequate some claim it is.....

Snidely, it has the old Windows Firewall which is supposed to be unsafe.

Apparently it is a one-way firewall. I'm holding on to my XP desktop and laptop until they croak. Both run well and do what I need them to do.

Zep, that would be great.

I had a user install this a few months ago, they liked it,

Privatefirewall is absolutely FREE of charge - with no third party programs, tool bars, ads, or other piggy-back add-ons.

See link for download, the download is in red on the web page I'm sending you to.
