Hello,

I hope someone can help, not sure if its an adobe or windows issue. Anyway, every webpage I open I get an ie security popup saying "A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer". Name: Adobe flash. then two options, allow or don't allow. Do not know how to get rid of it or why it is doing it, I need this insanity to stop. the screenshot should give you an idea of what I go through with every web page I try and open but has only been doing it since yesterday (03/12/15) Hope someone has the answer.

This is a security preference in Internet Explorer.

What happens when you check the "Do not show me the warning for this program again?" box?

Well when I check the box, basically it lies to me and does show me the message continuously. No matter which option I go. allow, don't allow, don't show again. keeps appearing regardless. Just started 2 days ago.

Someone must have the answer (hehe), however if I may suggest - a different approach to the issue - to altogether change the browser used... Something that will not have BHOs & which won't be using the operating system mHTML integration (which is, simply, terrible ); those would be, either, Google Chrome and/or Mozilla Firefox (no reason not to have several web browsers, even).

The two are popular and therefore have many Add-ons, or extensions, such as: Adblock Plus (beware of fakes, only use from the domain: adblockplus.org) & the Adblock Plus Element Hiding Helper. This, glancing at your (current) issue does seem to be offtopic, however it'll definitely save you the pain in the long run! ;$

*Adblock Plus - Surf the web without annoying ads!

*Element Hiding Helper

... Coupled with, something like, NoScript (can be kinda *advanced* to use and it requires some set-up); or, something simpler (which can run on full-auto), like Ghostery and/or DoNotTrackMe, from "Abine" @DoNotTrackMe Frequently Asked Questions

Yes correct, it does not do it with firefox, but can't work out why it just started doing it. Have not touched any settings and in relation to BHO, I even disabled trend micro just to check, didn't make a difference. Call me lazy but I mainly use ie cause it auto logs me into Hotmail, lol. all was fine til 2 days ago. Still waiting for Microsoft to get back to me, won't happen overnight but may do eventually. Hoping someone does have the answer.
