The problem is with the Adobe Download Manager software that is installed on your computer. The company responsible for this questionable software is NOS Microsystems. The software seems to deactivate the flash plug-in, which was otherwise working perfectly, in order to force the user into upgrading to the newest version of Flash. If this behavior is the case, the sofware actually qualifies as malicious and should be removed from your computer.
Go to, Control Panel/Add Remove Programs and remove the Adobe Download Manager Software.
Further, click Start/Search/All Files and Folders and type getPlus in the file name line and hit the Search button.
Right click and delete/remove any files that have getPlus in the title.
Now go to this link and download the Flash Player directly from the developer site, instead of the usual web download location:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashpl...oads.html#fp10
On the page, just below the first paragraph, find and click the link that reads:
Download the Adobe Flash Player 10 Update for Windows and Macintosh (ZIP, 44 MB)
Once you've downloaded the zip, extract the files and click into the main folder: flash_player_update3_flash10
Then click into the Players folder, then click into the Release folder.
In the Release folder, click and Run these two exe files in turn:
Install Flash Player 10 Plugin.exe
Install Flash Player 10 ActiveX.exe
Now you have the latest version of Flash on your machine.
Most users go through the hyjacking/forced upgrade without noticing any problems, but for users getting this annoying error, avoid downloading questionable software like the Adobe Download Manager, anything labeled getPlus, or anything from NOS microsystems.
