Uninstalling flash player will stop flash files but the site replaces them with animated Gifs. To stop these you must go to internet options/advanced/ scroll to mutimedia and uncheck the box "play animations in web pages" this should freeze the gifs.The default setting allows them. If you have spyware blaster installed go to Tools/flash killer and check the box. Bob |

Hi Joy, I didn't know either but someone on these boards posted an addy for the uninstall programme and the instructions were simple enough even for me! http://www.macromedia.*com/support/flash/ts/documents/remove_player.htm (remove the *) Judith |

I agree we shouldn't have to find ways round those ads but I found the only way to stop them flashing was to uninstall flashplayer. if I want to view a site that uses it I then reinstall it and uninstall again afterwards - a nuisance but at least the ads stay still:-) Judith |

I have had another look and it's Norton AV that stops the d**n things. If you have it - turn that option on. |

I tried it and it only works if you stay on the same page. Lindy;-) |

I don't get them and I am not exactly sure why. I have Microsoft messenger turned off and it may be that Norton takes a hand too. I have just read a suggestion that hitting the ESC key stops them flashing - could someone try that? |
