   This GiveAway of 18.Sept. is malicious für users with Win 7 Pro 64bit with FireFox and SeaMonkey..
   Installation seems no problem, but after that it requests the installation of Flash Player ActiveX Control.
   So I went to the Adobe page http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ There is nothing to read about an ActiveX plugin, the only download offered was
   http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_11_for_Other_Browsers&os=Windows%207&browser_type=Gecko&browser_dist=Firefox&d=McAfee_Security_Scan_Plus_FireFox_Browser&dualoffer=false
   After installing this I noticed:
   On my SeaMonkey the flash videos were left blank.
   My FireFox 15sticked after loading and it was necessary to install it from new.
   After that I had to de-install the newly installed Flash Player and to go back to version 10.3. as described in
   http://www.pctipp.ch/_misc/print/article_print.cfm?pk=62714
   To get things working again I need 1,5 hours of my precious time.
   Not to say that after this operatin my Internet Explorer did also no more flash videos.
   (I don't use it either) with the message that Flash Player version 10 was missing (even after I installed it some minutes before) but guided me to go to the Adobe download site mentioned above.
   Brrrh, no more of this !
