Hello again. Sorry for dropping out like that, when I came back to the Norton forum, it said it was down for maintenance and I just now came back.
I have Java 6.0.1_18, Adobe Flash 10.0.42.34, Adobe Shockwave Player?(more on that forthcoming), WinXP sp 3.
I know, that I must disable Tea Timer and any ad blockers. I also, un-installed all older versions of Adobe Flash player, before the latest install of the most recent release ;)
I assure you my friends, I have the latest everything installed. Malicious softwares and spyware, are the only things I need to protect against, so I have no need to run Anti-virus programs. However, due to the free trial run of Nortons AV, that came with the latest Adobe Flash Player install, I went ahead and accepted it and ran the free scan. This was my very first virus scan since 2002 =O I repeat, My very first AV scan since 8 years ago, back when the free NAV subscription ran out on my Dell 8200 work station. Guess what? It only found three tracking cookies and that was all. I surf all sorts of dangerous places on the web also. Either, I am the luckiest nutcase on the internet, or Anti-virus is a waste of money for the average nutcase, like me, lol. Or, Spybot S&D is doing a grand job for a free utility :)
The problem arose, when I installed Adobe Flash Player 10.0.42.34 along with the free Norton AV, which is now, my other big problem - I cannot get this Norton stuff to stop popping up and crashing other programs and it is trying to tell me I need to purchase a subscription.
So, now my flash content does not work and Nortons, is what I would call malicious software, since it is obtrusive and has hijacked my PC. I cannot find the un-install option for this free Norton AV thing :( Can anyone tell me how to remove this Norton Security Scan thing?
@ Floplot:
You Tube movies do work. Other active content, like Flash games will work also, but certain active content does not work. I think you have just pin pointed the problem I am having floplot. Since some flash content works, while a few other things do not_ I may need to look at the Shockwave Player. I will look into that ASAP ;)
Thanks for all the great help everyone! Especially since I am not part of the Norton community. I am truly grateful.
@ Dave_Kim:
I have just learned two days ago, that hijacking a tech thread is considered bad form - I am super duper sorry for doing that Dave! I should have started my own thread :( I have been at Cnet forums for 13 years and they always seemed to encourage joining the already established threads, so I thought, it was encouraged to do that everywhere. That is another reason I am looking for help here - Adobe community sort of yelled at me and then, even though I apologized, they ignored my new topic and refused to help me.
Hopefully some of this jargon I am posting will trigger an answer for your problem with Chrome. Chrome crashes on me as well and refuses to show ANY flash content, so we are alike in that respect ;)
P.S. Under normal circumstances, the Google Chrome is lightning fast!
