Is Flash now behaving in IE?

~PA Bear
Thank you PA Bear for all your help , I solved my Flash problems . I
installed the Firefox browser again then DL flash for that browser . It
worked . I did not know that there was more to spyware than ad-aware .
There
are tons of products out there that find problems that ad-aware could not
even find . Thanks again PA bear for your help.

Are you certain that's your entire HijackThis log? It's awfully short.
Consider also posting a log generated in Safe Mode with Show Hidden
Files
&
Folders enabled.
Good luck.

I did not know there was more to in depth scanning. I always thought
AD-Aware was the ultimate software , Thanks again .

PA Bear could I assume that I will never have Flash again . I have
followed all of your recommendations. Where does that leave me now.
Is
there anything that I can do ? Is the support forum of Macromedia
inferior to this forum ? Thanks again Rogelio
:
The Flash "killbit" is usually found in the right-hand pane of this
Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\ActiveXCompatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-44455
3540000}
Important! =>
1. If you're not running Limewire v4.8, replace your current
version
with it. Earlier versions give you hidden, "drive by" installs of
hijackware.
2a. After doing so, run, in order, CWShredder v2.15 (choose Fix,
not
Scan) and Ad-aware SE v1.06 (fully updated; fix anything found).
2b. Optional: Scan with Spybot v1.4 (fully updated; fix anything
listed in red).
3. Post your HijackThis log to an appropriate forum (**not here**)
for review by an expert.
Until an expert gives your HijackThis log the "all clear", you
can't be certain the machine is hijackware/Trojanware-free.
Your new AV app should be configured to:
- Seek and install updated definitions automatically & daily, at a
time when the machine's usually running and connected to the 'net;
- Run a full system scan a few minutes after seeking/installing
updates, also daily.

I have downloaded the free AV app you mentioned. My comp is clean
from viruses but I did find a trojan and the PSP adwares in my
comp . Limewire & Kazaa . I need the Limewire though. E-trust pet
scan was great it found items that not even ad-aware could find!
One thing that may be a hint to my problem is that the KILLBIT
thing seems to always be there even though I delete it as
instructed by the other people helping out on other posts. Could
that be were my problem may lie ? Could reinstalling IE solve all
of this also ? Thanks PA Bear for sticking with this issue of
mine. Rogelio.
:
Please include all of previous message(s) in your replies.
1. Get yourself an AV app installed, pronto!! But not till
you've run the Rna2003 utility cited earlier.
If cost is a factor, AVG and Avast both offer free ones.
2. Only after taking care of #1, run a /thorough/ check for
hijackware & Trojans.

I have tried all your sites that you linked and still no

Well, you're not alone:

I had Norton Anti-Virus 2002 - I uninstalled it
And with what anti-virus application have you replaced NAV
2002?
Norton products are notorious for not uninstalling cleanly.
Some remnant of NAV 2002 (i.e., Script Blocking) may be
interfering & causing the problem (and may be causing your
current AV app not to function properly). Try using this
Symantec Removal Utility & rebooting:

Have you run a /thorough/ check for hijackware?

I had Norton Anti-Virus 2002 - I unistalled it because it
would no longer let me run a full system scan. My issue
seems unusual , I 've read all the posts here reguarding
flash player troubles and none of the responses have helped
my comp. If you can stick with me on solving this problem
I'd really appreciate it.
:
...I have Microsoft Antispyware
installed if that is the one you were asking me about.
No, I was referring specifically to SpywareBlaster
(http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html) and
MVP Eric Howes' IE-SpyAd
(https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm).
Have you a Norton or McAfee application installed?
