Flash9e.ocx reported as a threat... Need help

Question

Hi,
I just installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 on my
VISTA Ultimate 32 bits SP1 laptop. After running an analysis it
reported among a total of 3 files the following one as an important
threat:
c:\windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9e.ocx
What can I do with this?
- Do I simply need to upgrade? If so how?
- Do I put it to quarantine?
- Do I uninstall it? If so how?
- Other recommandation?
Thanks in advance.

I would recommend creating a folder in your "My Documents" folder and naming it "Java Programs". This will keep your programs organized and make it easier to find them.
When using the Command line, any commands you enter will not mean anything to the computer unless it knows where to find their corresponding executables. Thus, you must set both the "path" variable and the "CLASSPATH" variable (assuming you know how to get to the "Environment Variables" dialog). The former tells the computer where to find "java.exe" and "javac.exe" along with other essential programs. The latter tells "java.exe" and "javac.exe" where to find your program to compile or run it.
Do the "path" variable first. When you set this, don't just erase everything in the value field because then commands like "ping" and "ipconfig" won't fuction properly. Rather, place the new value at the end of the current value with a semi-colon between them. It should look something like this:
(original values);C:\Program Files\java\JDK\bin\The bin directory should be where your "javac" and "java" executables were installed.
Now for CLASSPATH. You will notice that there is no "CLASSPATH" variable so you will have to create it. After you have created it, give it the path to your "Java Programs" folder as it's value. Then when you begin doing larger projects requiring more than one file, just make a new folder in "Java Programs" and append the path of the new folder to the end of "CLASSPATH" just like you did for "path".
Hopefully this helps clear some things up.
