It should be Insert>Object>Flash Document and then you browse to the swf. I just did it in PPT2007

1. Click in the slide where you want to place the linked object (linked object: An object that is created in a source file  and inserted into a destin....

2. On the Insert tab, in the Text group, click  Object.

   

3. Click Create from File.
4. In the File name box, type the name of the file, or click Browse to select from a list.

   If you browse to the file, once you locate it, click Insert.

5. Select the Link check box.
6. Do one of the following:
   • To display the content, clear the Display as icon check box.
   • To display an icon, select the Display as icon check box.

     To change the default icon image or label, click Change Icon,  and then click the icon that you want from the Icon list, or  type a label in the Caption box.

Note You cannot use the Object command to insert graphics or pictures. To insert a graphic or picture, on the  Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click Picture.

According to the self-proclaimed gods at Microsoft, this error should only occur with Office 2000 and XP (not 2003, 2007 or 2011) and only on systems running Norton A/V or Symantec Systemworks with an outdated virus definition database.

Obviously they have plenty more research to do on this.

I seriously doubt it has anything to do with any Adobe file, or Norton. This is all Microsoft's.

I had the same problem on 2007 Powerpoint.

I had to install Flash by using Internet Explorer in order to get the full Flash.OCX file.  When installing through Chrome or Firefox, Powerpoint would not register it.

Luck!
