I don't know where it came from but just about every page I open results in the pop up "Do you want to install and run "Adobe Flash Player" signed on 6/11/2007 . . .

No I don't know want to run it but I also don't know where the source of the pop us is hiding. I ran a hi jack this scan and deleted an AdobeAcrobat 5.0\Reader\activex\AcroIEhelper.ocx but that didn't help.

I probably should have posted this in the Browser area but:

1. It might be another Windows thing as I have nothing but problems there and

2. I don't know how to delete or move it.

this means there is something on the site that requires flash player to view,so its the web site generating the pop up,install it and be done with the popup.
flash player and adobe reader are 2 different programs .

I don't like being strong-armed into anything, especially by a machine. I'll fight fire with fire. Perhaps a more aggressive popup blocker.

Which browser you are using ?
Mozilla firefox or Internet explorer.

Streaming video as soon as you open a site , is the way of the internet now! not sure if any popup blocker is going to stop this one .

Did anyone ever come up with a solution to this problem? I have the latest Adobe Flash Player version installed, and I still get the pop up. It is disruptive--I have to stop what I am doing and close the pop up every 1-2 minutes.
