Re: Do I need Macromedia Flash Player?

Silj,I have to say Thank You also,I downloaded and installed the program you
mentioned (spyware blaster) and this eliminated the annoying prompts I was
getting to install Micromedia,after I deleted it from the Control Panel.
Spyware Blaster seems to work like a charm! :-)
It does not look to me that there is any adverse effects accessing
websites,on the contrary,they seem to open faster.
Regards

Alberto
