[gui-talk] Adobe Flash

[Gerald Levy]

Not necessarily.  Did you install Flash Player for Firefox?  If so, be sure 
McAfee Security Scan Plus was not also installed.  When I installed the 
latest version of Flash Player for Firefox, version 11.9.900.170, McAfee 
Security Scan Plus was installed also.  I could find no means of unselecting 
it.  This malware scanner program is probably harmless, but if you find it 
on your list of installed programs and don't want it on your computer, you 
will have to remove it manually.
