This site wants to install the follwing add-in: adobe flash......

I get the above pop-up on virtually every page on the site since the conversion. It remains if I say yes, no, or ignore it. It also slows down page changes. How can I eliminate this?

I never get that. I view in Firefox - what are you using? IE6, IE7, or...?

IE7 - whoops - a reply has to be at least 5 characters

Ok, I just logged on in IE7 - still did not get that. I think it's time to discuss what you use for anti-virus and anti-spy programs...??

edit: I'll just edit here to second Dave's suggestion below. Your machine seems to be infected. Here's some free cleaning sites...

I did have to Install temporary Active X, then temporarily load the program, then ultimately boot to scan in Safe Mode to remove one Trojan, but no problem.

So what protection have you been using...?

Its not SB.
Your machine has some un-wanted software installed.

Correct, we do not require Flash.

Actually,

some of our ads are written in flash. Having Flash installed is not a bad thing.

So - I checked the machine and it's clean. I'm running symantec antivirus, Spybot S&D, and ad-aware. However, Spybot prevents things from being loaded. Based on the comment above, I manually added adobe flash player - and the problem seems to have disappeared - Thanks for your help

IMVHO, symantec antivirus sucks. Avast.com offers a superior program for free - just have to register is all, no spam. Load it, run a "boot time scan" and you have a cleaner machine.

You might need the removal tool to get rid of Norton, that's how lame it is. http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039
