While browsing certain websites in Win98, I get a frequent pop-up screen for installing 'Macromedia Flash Player' around once in every 6-10 seconds .(averge 10 times a minute).

The screenshot is given below.

What is the reason ? How to escape from this problem ?

Don't worry ! Get any Digit Cd . Find any Macromedia Flash player setup on it . Run and install and you are done . You will never see it again . The reason you have getting it is because you dont have flash player installed or a very old version.
You can try digit Cd or download the Player from net.
Merry Christmas ! :p

But I don't want to play flashfiles in order to avoid slowing down the net speed and waste my time.
