  Using Maxthon3 browser, at any given moment WGT dissappears to be replaced by this -

  

  and then this pops up - (which I cancelled) -

  

  I have scanned with avg anti-virus, the latest Malwarebytes (premium), re-installed Maxthon3, no add-ons or extensions on it, cleared all caches, ran CCleaner.

  Nothing has shown up from the scans but it still persists. Can someone offer some advice please?

  You have to update the Flash player manually when using Maxthon

  Here's How:
  Update Flash Player first
  Then go to My Computer, your hard drive
  Under Windows find the file SysWOW64 click it
  Find the file Macromed click it and the file Flash
  Copy the latest file which is now NPSWF32 16.0.0.235.dll
  Now you have to go into your program files and find the Maxthon program
  Click on it, then click Core,
  then Webkit,
  then Npplugins
  Paste the copied dll file and delete the old one

  He reinstalled Maxthon so the latest Flash would be downloaded with it.

  Maxthon3 always gives this flash version - 11,5,502,110

  Thank's for the posts, I had read up on the maxthon flash update thread and seen this info. 

  Problem is, I don't believe this to be coming from Adobe or Maxthon.

  What do you think? -

  On my pc I have flash 16

  I tried to do the above but there's no sign of that NPSWF file?

  You didn't read my directions properly.

  My Maxthon file:
  You want the highlighted version.

  Sorry bud, I'm not good at this stuff, I meant in WOW64 there is no Macromed file?

  Look in System32 then or go to Start and type in Macromed in the search box. You'll find it.
