That's what I'm thinking. I don't think visitors know that we have an active community here at the VPC because we tend to mass email each other rather than use the Forums.

You're the second person to have a problem with Flash. Many sites use it and it isn't a virus or anything like that. Anyway, to disable Flash (only attempt this if you're comfortable with regedit:
Click Start, Run, type regedit
Go to following dir:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE/MicrosoftInternet Explorer/ActiveX Compatibility
Click Edit, New, Key
Name New Key:
{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000} (including the {})
Now create new DWORD value inside this key.
Rename this DWORD value to "Compatibility Flags"
Set Value Data to 400 and Base to Hexadecimal.
This seems complicated but you will see along the way it makes much more sense.
If you want to disable flash correctly without compromising performance this is the way.
To enable flash simply delete the key.

We've already released the 2k4 version (FlightAdventures Edition). Have a look in the Crew Forum.
