RC, one of your links said to look for these...... "install_flash_player.exe" and "install_flash.exe" I did a search on my C drive for both and found neither. My FF extensions does show this as the latest entry: "Adobe DLM (powered by GetPlus(R)) 1,6,2,44 A GetPlusR download-,upload-And Installation Manager is a sophistocated tool for an efficient distribution of digital goods." My Plugins show this for the latest entry: "getPlusPlus for Adobe 16244 1.6.2.44" Now I recall yesterday morning, as I was working in Excel, suddenly my mouse was acting up...would highlight when I was trying to type, wouldn't switch from caps and lower case, etc. I rebooted and all was fine...except I was prompted to download the newest update for Firefox. I didn't do it at that time. Last night I decided I'd do "check for updates" for FF. It said there was one so I said to download it. Just afterward, the Adobe Flash prompt popped up so I thought it was connected to the FF update. However, I did not allow access to the internet for the Adobe PlusPlus request via Zone Alarm. My daily AVG didn't catch anything this morning (and I see from Virus Total's list that it might not). I ran Malwarebytes yesterday after the computer acted funny and it was negative. Is there an online scan for Firefox browsers? Thank you. Pam Am I sunk?

What browser are you using? Have you tried a different browser? This is an attempt to limit the the issue to 1 browser. For delta search you will need to a bit more work to get rid of it entirely. To do that, download AdwCleaner Download from http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ Using AdwCleaner is very simple. Simply download the program and run it. You will then be presented with a screen that contains a Scan and Clean button. The Scan button will cause AdwCleaner to search your computer for unwanted programs and then display all the files, folders, and registry entries found on your computer that are used by adware programs. When the scan has finished, look through the scan results and uncheck any entries that you do not wish to remove. When you are satisfied with the selection, simply click on the Clean button, which will cause AdwCleaner to reboot your computer and remove the files and registry entries associated with the various adware that you are removing. On reboot, AdwCleaner will display a log showing the files, folders, and registry entries that were removed. When you're done with adwcleaner, double click it and choose uninstall Joe This post was edited by zep516 on Fri, Nov 15, 13 at 20:28

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

Yes, we get deer. We see their footprints. The veg. garden is fenced in to 7 ft. high. So far I haven't seen any when I'm looking through the webcam, just a feral cat stomping by through the snow. We usually start driving down on March weekends but this year I think we'll wait till the snow melts. If ever. It'll be a late start for the garden. Big clean-up to do because I left all the perennial stalks on. (These are in the various border beds around the deck and along the road and can't be seen from the webcam.) First thing to go will be the buddleia branches, cutting them down to 3 ft. high, which means we'll lose the waving branches closest to the camera. Next work will be changing the right front fence line (blocks lawn view, and veg. garden is too big),, cutting it back on a diagonal about 6-8 ft. Have you spotted the Gay Head Lighthouse yet? The beam shines right above the righthandmost bush on the shore, to the right of the tall tree. If the light is good (clear unfoggy air), one sees the white-red-white sequence. I'm glad you found my link. I hope I hear from a few more NE gardeners, especially with advice as to how to make it look better. I might have to start a separate thread, to do that. But for now, prairiemoon, thanks, I'm happy you checked out my garden view. Carol
