This program found its way onto my system (WinXP Home & IE 6.0). It seems
to exist only to play inane commercials on my browser. I tried to remove
it, and can't find it. I looked in Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs,
msconfig | startup and c:\program files with no luck. How can I remove or
temporarily disable it?
 
Hi PT,

This piece of software is rather to be qualified as friend. It is used to
render SWF files embedded in web pages.

I don't think that commercial abuse is not enough reason to want to delete
it - it's more or less like wanting to delete Windows because there are
possible problems. Or throwing away your car because of possible crashes or
mechanical problems.

Should you want to delete it, than you can get an uninstaller from
Macromedia at

Kind regards
