Am running IE and firefox. Was able to play videos from website like youtube etc without difficulty. Few days ago all i get now is an error saying that your Flash Player is outdated or because you disabled JavaScript in your browser.No settings has been changed. Been to the adobe website and have downloaded the latest version 10.0.42.34 Still have the problem after restarting.

has anyone experienced any problems?
Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D

    Try clearing your browser cache and see if that makes any difference.

    Hi
    Are you saying that both Internet Explorer and Firefox are affected?

    Had another go in installing flash player but no change. Was wondering what JavaScript and how is it turned off when no setting has been changed. How do i turn it on on IE and Firebox?

    Thanks

    Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
    Open malwarebytes and goto UPDATE and click 'check for updates'. After its updated goto SCANNER and click PERFORM FULL SCAN then click SCAN
    Post the log COMPLETE here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds

    Hi

    While you're checking for viruses it is worth checking whether flash is actually installed or not.
    With Firefox you can see if flash is installed. To do this you just type into the window
    about:plugins
    
    and <enter>.

    That will show which plugins are installed.

    Mine says at the bottom:-
    Shockwave Flash

    File: libflashplayer.so
    Version:
    Shockwave Flash 10.0 r42
    Try and see what's installed in your Firefox.
