Macromedia Flash Player stopped an unsafe operation

Question

17 Years Ago

I just recently started getting this pop up while checking my email through AOL (I use AOL email, TCP/IP with cable modem).

It is from Macromedia Flash Player Security which is something I have never seen before. I have attached a picture of the pop up to this post. I don't recognize the "local application" nor the Internet enable location. Google turned up nothing.

I run Windows XP and I ran Adaware and SpyBot and both came back clean.

I did recently have a spoof email phishing for my ebay info, but I did NOT click any links within the email.

TIA

Arg, alrite, ya have a dillemma. You have a program on your computer called MyKazaaGold. Im pretty sure its a paid program. However, it has spyware embedded inside of it. Therefore, the simple answer is to uninstall it. But, not everybody does.

Personally, I'd recommend uninstalling it, and switching to another P2P network, such as Limewire, but that decision is up to ya.

I'm going to treat the following fix as though you are going to remove it. If ya decide not to, post back, and we'll have to revise the fix instructions.
_______________________________

Begin by uninstalling Kazaa through the Add/Remove Programs list.

Now, begin by downloading CCleaner, and specifically choosing the most recent version.

Then, follow these steps:

1. Close all programs so that you are at your desktop.
2. Double-click on the "My Computer" icon.
3. Select the "Tools" menu and click "Folder Options".
4. After the new window appears select the "View" tab.
5. Place a checkmark in the checkbox labeled "Display the contents of system folders".
6. Under the "Hidden files and folders" section select the radio button labeled "Show hidden files and folders".
7. Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled "Hide file extensions for known file types".
8. Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled "Hide protected operating system files". 9. Press the "Apply" button and then the "OK" button and shutdown My Computer.
10. Now your computer is configured to show all hidden files.

Now, install the program. Open it, and choose the 'Options' tab. Inside, hit the 'Custom' tab, and add the following folders (Note: Not all of these files are on every computer. If one of these isn't present, skip it):

C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\<Every user listed>\Local Settings\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\<Every user listed>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
C:\Documents and Settings\<Every user listed>\History
C:\Documents and Settings\<Every user listed>\Cookies
C:\Windows\Prefetch

After doing this, move back to the 'Cleaner' tab, and inside this, be sure your open to the 'Windows' tab. Inside, check the box labeled 'Custom Files and Folders'.

Next, after following all of these steps, you're ready to scan. Run scans in both the 'Cleaner' and 'Issues'. Note: It might take several scans in each to remove all of the junk.

After this, follow up by downloading Ewido Security Suite.

Install ewido security suite
When installing, under "Additional Options" uncheck..
- Install background guard
- Install scan via context menu
Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop, double-click it.
The program will now open to the main screen.
When you run ewido for the first time, you will get a warning "Database could not be found!". Click OK. We will fix this in a moment.
You will need to update ewido to the latest definition files.
- On the left hand side of the main screen click Update.
- Then click on Start Update.
The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed. The status bar at the bottom will display "Update successful"
-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-==-=-= End here to download but not scan -=-=-=-=-=-=-==-==-=-=
Click on Scanner
Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will begin.
You will be prompted to clean the first infection.
Select "Perform action on all infections", then proceed.
Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report
Click Save report.
Save the report .txt file to your desktop or a location where you can find it easily.

After doing these, reboot the computer.

Then, open HJT and fix the following:

O16 - DPF: {30528230-99f7-4bb4-88d8-fa1d4f56a2ab} (YInstStarter Class) - C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Common\yinsthelper.dll

After fixing these, reboot into safe mode, and delete the following folders:

C:\Program Files\MyKazaaGold.

After this, reboot the computer.

Then, post a new HJT log, and the Ewido log.

Thanks.

Jhay,
Thank you for your very detailed step-by-step instructions. Yes, I do have kazaa Gold and I am aware of it's reputation with spyware. I thought with a paid version I would be safe though. Of course, I paid for a 2year membership and I have yet to be able to get it to work. Their tech support (via email) wanted me to uninstall and reinstall and THAT is when I started getting the error - which I should have guessed was cauzed by Kazaa since it was media related - although it was weird that it only came about when I went to check email (which is why I thought it might be related to the ebay spoof).

Interesting enough, I got home last night and saw that my MacAffee had updated, and, lo and behold, the error has not shown itself since. Maybe I'm fixed?

As for Kazaa, well, I can't get it to work, so I'm pissed that I spent money more than anything. How much is Limewire? or iTunes? I used to be pretty good with P2P programs back when they were illegal, lol, but today, they just confuse me.

Thanks again!

Well, I iTunes is great, and legal, but the songs cost 99 cents each. Limewire, is not an illegal program to have on your computer, but downloading copyright material is still illegal, and always will be. I suggest iTunes.

Please post another log...

Ya, agreed. Also, iTunes is a great way to organize files and play them on your computer too.

Lastly, Limewire is free.

Ya, and roger that about posting a new log...

Thanks.

Ussally, when a P2P program is "free", it comes bundled with some unwanted guests. Just a heads up :).
