Norton deleted the "getplusplus_adobe_reg.exe" file and now I get an error message in Firefox

I recently installed the newest version of Adobe Flash Player. As I was installing the program, Norton Internet Security said that the "getplusplus_adobe_reg.exe" file was suspect, so I deleted it. Now, every time I load Firefox, I get an error message saying that file is missing, and some websites do not function properly. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox, and this did not solve the problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed the newest Adobe Flash Player version

Getplus is the problematic Adobe Download Manager (DLM) which no one needs. See if the suggestions in the following will help you to get rid of it: http://secunia.com/community/forum/thread/show/3665/adobe_dlm_will_not_uninstall
