Have to click allow on every web page for adobe flash player

[KatShan51]

I have windows vista, internet explorer 9 and have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.  All of a sudden I am getting a message at the bottom of every web page "this webpage wants to run the following add-on "adobe flash player"  I have to click the allow button.  This has just started happening.  How do I stop it?

Reset Internet Explorer's security settings to what they were before these messages started.

what should I be looking for?  I have no idea what the settings were before since I haven't changed anything.  Is there a specific setting I should be looking at?

Sorry, I don't know.  I do not get these pop-ups, so I cannot really test it.

I also do no longer have IE9, and these settings are completely different in IE10.  But it should be something under ActiveX.

It's possible that something has changed with this week's Windows Updates.
