How to get rid of Adobe Flash Player 9 security warnings, whci
periodically
pop ups with prompts to install 'Adobe Flash Player 9' - extremelly nasty
thing.. I dont want install. How to get rid?


I guess that depends on which web browser you are using
If you want to get rid of the yellow "plugins needed to show all media"
-line in firefox you may delete (or move away) the file npnul32.dll
in the plugins -directory where you have installed mozilla firefox
(at my computer that is C:\program\firefox\plugins\npnul32.dll)

If you are using K-Meleon (faster for older computers) you use the same
method (it is based on Firefox)

In Opera I don't remember there is that warning line, or is it?
hmm.. not in my Opera 8.5. Anyway just turn off the Plugins
in Opera's settings somewhere.

I don't think it is possible to stop it with MSIE, but i guess
noone is using internet exploiter anymore anyway.


There are lot of other browsers too... you must be more specific in
question.



Most flash is advertising so I understand you want to
eliminate it completely, some sites lite www.youtube.com is
dependent of it though... if you need such sites you could
install something like Flashblock (in firefox) which let you
play just those flash you need.


(I might allso have missunderstood your question completely
if you allready have a flashplayer and it want to upgrade
itself to a new version? there should be a way to stop it from that.
in firefox a checkbox in Advanced-Updates. About "extremelly
nasty thing", is flash9 worse than other versions? you don't
know what adobe do in your computer with any of them...)

-----------------

I am talking about Internet Explorer 6.0

I don't think it is possible to stop it with MSIE, but i guess noone is
using internet exploiter anymore anyway.


Not sure you right in this point.. Yes, it possible (knowledges required,
though.) And about MSIE - many users use default browser. Personally, I even
not heard about K-Meleon...(what this? ) What is important - you do not need
install additional programs, and save you disk space. In addition, MSIE is a
part of windows operating system ( unfortunately)..
A guess problem in with this Adobe program.. its buggy, bad software..
