Hello,


I do not want flash on my machine.
Every time I go to a site, ie asks if I want to install the plug in, I say
no.

I wanted to stop constant prompting this so I've disabled the downloading
of plugins (activex controls).
Now I get to a page that has flash (usually a banner ad) a pop-up warning
that my security settings do not allow downloading; then I have to press
"OK" to get ride of the box.

Q: Is there a way to disable this warning?, without re-enabling the download
of plug-ins?

The result I would like is that If I go to a page that contains flash
components, they just don't work and that's the end of it. No warnings, no
pop-up box's, just load what you can and be done with it.

Thanks

I use SpywareBlaster. I have Flash disabled. :o)
You can prevent the installation of Flash also.

SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever
being installed.

SpywareBlaster Tools
[[SpywareBlaster provides additional functionality in its "Tools" section. A
short description of each of the Tools can be found below.
Flash Killer: Macromedia Flash can be used to display animated interfaces on
websites, animations, and other "Flash" content. Unfortunately, advertisers
have begun to use Flash as a method for creating annoying and distracting
content. And some users that may wish to keep the software off of their
computers altogether have found it troublesome to prevent every website that
uses Flash from installing it. Flash Killer can set the kill bit for the
Macromedia Flash control (versions 4.x, 5.x, or 6.x) - preventing the
installation completely and disabling it if it is already installed.
Reversing this procedure is easy.]]
 
works great thanks!
