How to stop "Adobe Flash Player" pop up?
 |
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.

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.
