A site downloads an old version of SW Player even though I have the newest version installed

Question

Over the years I've played games at a site (Garfield Games).  The last few years, whenever I update to the new version of Shockwave Player, Garfield Games downloads an old version of SW Player (10.4 to be exact) citing compatibility issues when I try to play a game.  It doesn't matter if I use Chrome or IE9 to download the new version of SW player, or go to Garfield in either browser, as soon as I try to play a game I have to download the old version of SW Player.  I notice my newest version is located in User-AppData-LocalLow-Adobe.  The old version is located in C-Windows-System32-Macromed-Shockwave 10.  If I delete the SW 10 file and try to play a game at Garfield I have to download the old version again, or I can't play the games.  This only occurs if I download a new version of SW Player (as it deletes the older versions on my system)or if I manually delete the old version.
My system isn't that unusual,  Vista 32 sp2, Webroot anti virus, windows firewall, Secunia.
When the old version is downloaded, Secunia flags it as a security risk.  I delete the SW Int.exe file in SW 10 and Secunia no longer flags it as a security risk.  I also delete 7 other files in it, and it still works at Garfield.  I've contacted Garfield and they claim it's my system.  Garfield is the only site that I have encountered this problem.
I've tried googling this question, and there's nothing really comprable.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Answer 1

I know that some sites do that.  I don't know of any way to prevent that, except to avoid sites that do that.
If I really wanted to prevent that, I would try to set the permissions in the target folders
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Director
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Shockwave 10
to prevent anything from installing.
