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.
