Hello:

I had a Google Search Redirect virus awhile back and was able to succesfully remove it from my computer using Malwarebytes and Dr Web.

However, after the removal I had some lingering issues [I assume wreckage from the virus].

1) I had no sound. There was no little speaker icon in my lower taskbar. When I checked control panel, audio devices It said no device was installed. After some searching I figured out that I should re-download/install the realtek ac97 driver.
This worked perfectly! This issue is resolved.

2) I cannot stream video any longer from various sites. I get the error that I need to install the latest version of flash. However, I've done this many times over and also made sure that java scripting is enabled in my browser. Still no luck.

I am using xpProf with ie7.

Does anyone know what the issue could be?

Thanks for any help.

IC

Anyone?

Perhaps I should add that playing videos on wmplayer, GOM, realplayer, etc, works fine.

It's just an issue with streaming [flash] videos.

Did you uninstall the old version of Flash before installing the new version?

Yes, I've uninstalled and re-installed Flash v.10. It appears to download just fine via the Adobe Download Manager (I get the "Installation Complete" with the green checkmark)

Also, I've triple-checked that "Active Scripting" is Enabled in ie7.

Does that mean you used the Flash uninstall tool?

Exactly. Yes.

Is it possible that Flash appears to install, but does not actually install?

Problem SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found this post by someone on another site. It refers to v9 but also applied to my v10, as well.

[I went to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash and copied "Flash9.ocx" and then pasted it back in the same directory. This created "Copy of Flash9.ocx" which I then renamed to "Flash.ocx." (Thus I had "Flash.ocx" and "Flash9.ocx", both the same file with a different name in the same directory.)
the actual flash name may be slightly different for example, it could be Flash9a.ocx, but just copy whatever you have there, and rename it to flash.ocx and keep it in the same file]

I did this and youtube worked again!!!!!

Thanks for your responses Frank. I hope this thread helps someone else with a similar problem.

Very best,

IC
