I am wishing to find a way to keep Macromedia from trying
to install as I browse from page to page. I have
experienced it's annoying ability to disrupt internet
usage, I got very upset one day and downloaded the
uninstall utility from thier web site. I now have the
issue of it wanting to install with every site that has
used their code. I would really like to find a way to
keep this from happening too. Is their a setting in
Internet proberties that might disable this?? Please
Help :)
 
Yes, go to Tools>Options>Security tab and select custom level. I am not sure
what option to disable from here, I'm thinking it is the ActiveX controls,
you'll need to click the "disable" radio button for things like "Signed
ActiveX controls", just try all of them until you get the right one. The
options you want will all be in the ActiveX controls and plugins section.

Hope this helps

The new release of Spyware Blaster has a feature that can temporarily block
Flash in web pages. http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

Flash Switch works well also at "toggling" Flash on/off,

Hope this helps.
