Hi, did you read this thread and check if your Registry key has that Kill-bit? Please do that first.

Tried that. When I go to the registry editor it has HKEY  local machine under that it has several areas to access but nothing that says Active X

And if I try to type into the registry the  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE that was given on the second line, it states that it cant be found.

Hi, When you had that Virus, was it removed by your Anti-Virus program? If so I would download and Save to your Desktop the Flash Player Uninstaller:

Then I would download and Install the Flash Player version 9 under Solutions heading at this site:

Once you have those on your Desktop, then Close All browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.

Be sure to use the Administrator Account for this Uninstall/Install.

If you use any instant messenger services as yahoo, msn, aol or any others disable them in the system tray(area near the clock)

Run the Uninstaller and then Reboot(restart) your computer.

Run the Installer and Reboot.

You can check your browser here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/  You should see the Flash logo animate(spin) and the version of Flash Player will be displayed.

Let me know.

Thanks,

Hi, don't copy the link from email. Copy it here from this post:

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406791.html

Try that, it worked for me.

So I was able to download Adobe flashplayer 9. It is on

my install/uninstall feature. What do I have to do now to get Adobe flash player 10

[Guest · Accepted solution]

So you have Installed it. Now go back to my post#5 to you and follow all procedures to Uninstall and use this Installer which is for the latest version 10.1.102.64 instead of the one you just used. Everything else is the same.

Use the one for Windows/Internet Explorer and use the EXE Installer.

Hope this works for you.

P.S. Keep your Anti-Virus program up to date, this virus is very active right now. Game sites are one place to pick it up and also don't click on anything that tells you that you have a virus. Run your own Anti-Virus instead!!
