Repeated Popups

Hello:


I keep getting the following popup message at all websites visited, using Windows 7 64 bit:
"This website wants to run the following add-on: "Adobe Flash player" from Adobe Inc"

I clicked on "allow for all websites"  does not help.
It is enabled in IE 11 browser. Version 32.0.0

Uninstalled it totally with Revo and advanced deletions, then reinstalled twice with no success.

Checked registry and found following keys related to Shockwave and Macromedia that I, and apparently, Revo could not delete:
D27CDB70-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000
D27CD6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000

Any help would be appreciated, and thanks for looking at this.

Ps: will I receive an email about this or do I check in periodically? Am new.

    Correct answer

    Please don't attempt to download Flash Player from any site other than adobe.com, especially from some random user on the forums.  This person has posted the same URL to several discussion topics and I've reported them to the forum admins as posting spam/malicious content.

    I've not had a chance to look at the files you provided.  I should be able to do so this afternoon.


    Maria: If you get this, I have no other way to cantact you since your last email to does not have a reply link and I forget either my Id or password and can’t get back into the forum.

    Well...Flash is back working again as it should. You were correct... problem was the browser not Flash.

    Early on I had checked the "SECURITY TAB" on the internet options panel and all appeared fine. What I did not check was settings in the "ADVANCED TAB" near the bottom under "security". Here I found TLS settings were enabled, but not SSL, Tried SSL 2.0 and met with success. Subsequently set it at SSL 3.0 and all seems to be working fine.

    Hope this enlightened you a little as it did me, a lot. Thanks again for your tireless help. I want to hit the correct answer link but as I said, can’t get back.

    Michael

    Ps: Revo removes all the traces that many programs leave behind just to keep their foot in the door, when you want them gone. It just does the job it is instructed to do. Works better than M$ uninstall in control panel.

    By design, you get this for each site WITH FLASH and each browser run. The idea is to make Flash really annoying so you complain to the site owner, and have them stop using Flash.

    You say you get it for all sites but you should only get it for sites that use Flash.

    Thank you for taking the time to respond to my problem.

    I must push back a little on your diagnosis and conclusion. By design, I have not been getting this from each site visited with Flash and I spend way too much time on the net to know this. The most I ever get re Flash is a message to allow an update.

    Also, I do get this for all sites. The same message popped up first thing when I opened your web responce. It would seem the computer world has yet to give up all its secrets.

    Thanks for trying.
