I keep getting annoying messages wanting to download FLV PLAYER on my computer.  It says "FLV Video downloader is required to download online videos"

i don't use any of this and never D/L in the first place..

one time I thought it was the flash player of which I have the latest version on my PC and the laptop.. I said OK in error and got a bundle loaded on my pc/s e.g.browsersafeguard and vgrabber v1 customized websearch and couldn't get rid of them.

I think finally did uninstall them all off both pc's.

but this keeps coming up and still trying to install FLV

does this come from adobe and how can I stop it if not?.

I would appreciate it if you can help

Sounds like malware to me; definitely nothing to do with Adobe.

Yes! I thought of malware and still think it is malware.

it comes on my PC and my wives laptop

I ran Norton on both and also malacious software from MS.

neither found any problems.

Mr Fix-it also nothing.

Do you have any ideas on how to stop this pain in the neck outfit?

Or who/where to report them?

Certainly would appreciate any help?

have a good day

I'm not a malware expert, but http://www.malwarebytes.org/http://www.malwarebytes.org/ comes highly recommended.

If that does not solve your problem, try a forum that specializes in malware removal like http://forums.majorgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=35
