I need help getting rid of Adobe Flash Player
First - cor-el, thanks for your suggestion (reply form won't let me enter a reply). Now, my problem: I use very slow dial-up. I cannot have a Flash Player on my computer or nothing else opens. When I downloaded Adobe Reader 8, somehow Adobe Flash Player 10 downloaded with it. It is messing up my Internet use. When I tried to remove it in Add or Remove Programs, and with Adobe's downloadable remover, a notice opens saying it will remove the Flash Player when Windows Messenger is closed. But Windows Messenger isn't open. I never use it. Adobe states “Due to recent enhancements to the Adobe Flash Player installers, you can now remove the player only by using the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller.” Surely there must be a way to find the components and delete each one. Can anyone tell me how to do that? Or maybe suggest something else besides reinstalling the operating system again (I did it two weeks ago -- took all day with help from Dell techs on the phone) and living without Adobe Reader?

First, a quick workaround.
In Firefox,
Tools> Addons
Plugin Tab
Locate Flash Player on the list and press disable.
Restart Firefox.
That should at least prevent it from running in Firefox and slowing down browsing. I think.
