Ignore Norton Windoc.

I get an error from Norton WinDoc that ....\Macromed[ia]\flash\flash9b.ocx cannot be found.
Of course, it cannot be found since (magically without any effort on my part...auto update?) it has been replaced by flash9e.
Regardless of permissions I apply to the appropriate registry keys, I am denied access, even as administrator. I cannot edit the listing to go from 9b to 9e, and I cannot delete this key.
This happens on multiple machines.
How to overcome this?
