A long time ago I downloaded SpyBot and then later uninstalled it. I am now having trouble getting Adobe FlashPlayer to download or run. It appears to be there but won't run or allow me to use the Windows control panel to add/remove the software. Someone mentioned to me that there might be a flash kill bit on my computer leftover from the old Spybot program. Is there a way to determine this -- or if I reinstall Spybot is there a way to turn off or remove the flash kill bit (assuming that could be the problem)?
This is driving me insane! I can't view many websites as they require Flash.
I'm running Windows XP and Internet Explorer (I also have the same problems if I try to access sights using the AOL browser). Any help would be appreciated.
