Good point on the anti-virus/Internet security suite causing problems especially in regards to Norton-anything and AVG 8.0. Both have been known to cause problems with Flash performance. Comodo Firewall Pro (free) and Avast! 4.8 (also free) don't cause the same problem. I run both and I have very little Flash related problems with Firefox 3.0.*, Opera 9.6 beta and Chrome (different plugin entirely for IE though which tells me that Glenn might be on to something).
