JorgeBon Posted April 28, 2021 ID:1453804 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hello, I'd like some help again to check if my pc is infected, i've downloaded some files again and I became paranoid over it. But the main thing I really want to check is if adobe flash player is uninstalled, I installed it briefly for something and then tried to remove it but I'm not sure if its gone for good or if it could still be a security risk. I was also wondering about activeX being installed or if theres anything to worry about that. Anyway I would appreciate it if someone can go through this with me.

kevinf80 Posted April 28, 2021 ID:1453821 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hello JorgeBon, Run the following scan, lets see if anything shows up: Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop. Alternative download option: http://www.techspot.com/downloads/6731-farbar-recovery-scan-tool.htmlNote: You need to run the version compatible with your system (32 bit or 64 bit). If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version. If your security alerts to FRST either, accept the alert or turn your security off to allow FRST to run. It is not malicious or infected in any way... Be aware FRST must be run from an account with Administrator status... If English is not your primary language Right click on FRST/FRST64 and rename FRSTEnglish/FRST64English Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.(Windows 8/10 users will be prompted about Windows SmartScreen protection - click More information and Run.)[/b Make sure Addition.txt is checkmarked under "Optional scans" Press Scan button to run the tool.... It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste it to your reply. The tool will also make a log named (Addition.txt) Please attach that log to your reply. Thank you, Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinf80 Posted April 29, 2021 ID:1454012 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) Hello @JorgeBon Adobe Flash Player is not an installed program, it is added to your Browser. Your Default browser is Firefox, open Tools - Add-ons and Themes - Plugins, From there you will see if Adobe Flash Player is active, if so access the 3 dots at the end of the entry, from there you can deactivate etc... Does that help....? Thank you, Kevin.. **Edit** Adobe has an uninstaller for flash player - https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html URL checks out clean at VirusTotal - https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/d50d6f7c9de60501d5fa106a8d9c5af6292c47ff96c4c88c7ea5c7a0da0a4617/detection Edited April 29, 2021 by kevinf80 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorgeBon Posted April 29, 2021 Author ID:1454014 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I'm not exactly sure what I got then, its not in the firefox browser, I got the adobe flash player by following this video. I did it to check out an old game on newgrounds, the newgrounds player provided a program to install adobe, but its broken so that's where I followed this video. This is why I'm confused if its still in the system or not, the player required me to use a compability mode (Windows XP Service Pack 3) to install it and to make the newgrounds player work. I can't tell if its in any browser or not. Cheers, Jorge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
