Recently (maybe since I switched to the free Norton thru Comcast and ditched Mcafee?) evrytime I want to see a vid on the net a prompt comes up saying i need to install Adobe Flash 10. Well, I install it but the next time I fire up my internet computer and want to see a vid--be it youtube, something from Facebook or just off the news--same thing--that I need to install Flash 10. I musta installed it a dozen times---any thoughts> I know that the prompt wants to install a McAfee scan somethin or other and I have unchecked that--it gives you the Adobe file and an optional McAfee thing--odd..

I'm posting from my phone right now, but I think this is the link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html That will tell you if your flash version is the latest one. If it's not, dl the update and that should get rid of the pop-ups. If it doesn't, maybe there's a setting in Norton that needs to be tweaked?

It's called "Uninstall All" ........ and then get AVG.
.....or Avira, or Antivir..... or m$ $ecurity e$$entials (all free) Kaspersky is a paid suite that is quite good IMO -- but it slows the machine down every bit as much as Norton does. Me, I don't run any of this stuff, just a lean/mean firewall, and keep my machine fast. *I'm* my best a/v protection bar none.

Hehe, I hear the info that got out might be more than just email addresses, and could include some hardware info that might be able to be spoofed. -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ __ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / /_ ____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_.___/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms

It's called "Uninstall All" ........ and then get AVG. Actually, I usually get this message when I've launched IE from inside Firefox via IE View plugin. It launches 64-bit IE by default, which, of course, can't run Flash yet. I don't suppose you are running 64-bit IE?

I usually set everything to temporary allow, if I'm trying to do something like run an online installer. -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ __ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / /_ ____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_.___/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms
