I'm trying hard to get rid of the file

c:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\Flash32_11_9_900_117.ocx

It seems to be left off by some recent Flashplayer 11 installation/update and Secunia PSI claims this file being outdated and suggests that it gotta be deleted.

Any clues to get this deleted?

In fact, Fileassassin cannot remove it either. So you say it can't be removed? Ha ha.

I booted an Ubuntu CD and removed the file from the mounted NTFS filesystem.
