Hey guys, I just had some download installed, (for IE I think) using auto update… but now whenever I want to play any multimedia file, I have to click the to unlock, before I can to anything… not sure why it says it…  
the title is “Click to activate and use this control”. Its really annoying and I dont know how to stop this… any ideas?

What? You mean you updated IE and Firefox broke?

Well no… like you still have to click for the content, I’ll get an example… hold on.

Nevermind I fixed it…
