Shockwave error at startup

Hello

After starting my PC, I have a message:

[windows can not find "c:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave."].

After pressing OK the PC starts normally.

After research it seems that this message comes from adobe flash player. So I uninstall everything related to Adobe, some of ccleaner and reinstall but nothing changes.

Where could it come?

Thanks for any help.

With CCleaner and proceed as follows:

• Uninstall Flash Player from Adobe.
• analysis and cleaning the registry with CCleaner -> remained the key shockwave as usual
• Backup registry (IMPORTANT)
• Remove the key shockwave
• Restart message and always present
• new analysis of the registry with CCleaner -> still the key to the software needed shockwave
• Remove this key in the registry database
• reboot and start , and problem solved.

Have you tried disabling it from the startup group? Click start/run, type msconfig and click ok. Go to the startup tab, try disable.

I found this solution at another site

"To anyone who might be reading this and still face the problem of this thread, you could try this solution:

• Uninstall Norton PC Check
• Delete all files relating to this program (eg.symcheckupstub.exe in your C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11)
• Go inside regedit and also manually clean the services/registries that are attached.
• Still inside regedit, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Current Version -> RunOnce. Change the symPCCheckup Data to just “C:\”.
• Reboot into Windows Safe Mode (Press F8 during boot time)
• Get into the regedit and navigate to the same location in step 4.
• Delete the symPCCheckup entry.
• Reboot into Windows normally (automatic if you reboot your PC while in safe mode, else press F8 and start Windows normally)
• There should now be no annoying popup window or alerts.
