shockwave flash

[JesseFrank]

Anyone else got this pop up lately ?

I've never seen it before but today several times already, my browser freezes and I get a poip up saying shockwave flash seems to be busy, do you want to continue or stop the plug in.

I believe from a IT friend of mine that this occur 's when you look at too many infected porn websites

Especially ones with gerbils.

On a serious note, is that an Apple operating system, as it is a common problem.

Windows 7 x64 ultimate with firefox, never experienced this before, but tonight 4 times so far.

On a serious note, infected porn sites does that mean I can get HIV from them ?

Don't know about getting HIV, but one suspects you may end up with friction burns on the palms and possibly a sore " botty" if your into " Gerbil play"

Dr Will Kirby you mean ? Well he's a handsome guy, so I guess she must be a real superstar then.

Not sure if that is Dr Wills surname, Soutpeel may be able to help. Apparently his Gerbil is right into him.

So I guess he will not answer for some time then.

Do you update flash ever?

I would recommend uninstalling it and then downloading and reinstalling it, flash is a target for virii/malware etc...just like java.

uninstall, scan with stuff like spybot. malwarevytes. hitman pro just to be sure, then reinstall from adobe.

Run Ccleaner too to clear your flash cache.

Moved to computers.

I had that a lot. Win7 64b Firefox, always updated both. My message differed only by saying Flash had crashed rather than busy.

I tried everything I could think of including rolling Firefox back a few versions. No luck. I still don't know what did it, 3 - 4 times a day.

I finally uninstalled FF, rebooted, cleaned the registry with CC, and installed Chrome. Only a couple of occurrences after about 2 weeks.

BTW, Chrome was amazing at importing my FF data. Even the shortcut icons on the bookmarks bar were all there, after just 1 request to import FF data..

Good luck.

Shockwave flash happens when a flasher flashes and sends a shockwave resulting in someone else instantly flashing sending another skockwave and the cycle continues.

Think I solved the problem. This morning the issue was extreme like every 20 minutes.

I recalled that I had installed free dvd converter the other day and went to the add/remove programs, where I discovered that it had installed some software called Relevant Knowledge at the same time.

A google showed me that it works in the background and is classified as spyware. So ran Malwarebytes, which discovered 6 threats including 2 trojans, and uninstalled both programs after that.

Coincidental when I restarted my computer I got a pop up that an update for flash player was available, which I installed.

No problem anymore so far.

Really hate this software, yesterdays update didn't even ask me if I wanted McAfee installed as well unless I missed something. Naughty.
