    Basically I can't play any video off of www.nfl.com/videos, this happened once I bought a new virus scanner that came with viruses itself causing my to sysmte restore. I think its my windows internet security because it asked me if I trusted this site and I said dont allow, after I did system restore. I have spent several hours trying to figure out the program I updated adobe, realplayer, quicktime, firefox, windows. I went to privacy under tools and added the website. Any advice please people I use to be on the site all day.

    you stated you had a virus and had to do a system restore.did you disinfect your system before the restore as most viruses will corrupt you system volume directory where your back ups are kept and doing a restore wont necessarily get rid of a virus.thus you may still be infected

    So I am still infected with a virus and this is why I can't play these videos?
    If so do you know of a free virus scanner I can download. I tried avg, but as I was installing it said a error occured and it couldn't install.

    the errors that registry mechanic has found are not virus infections and registry mechanic will not find any viruses as it is not an antivirus scanner. the errors it has found are obsolete and incorrect registry entries.you really need to be careful when cleaning the windows registry and be sure to keep any back ups when prompted another good and safe free registry cleaner you can use is ccleaner found here " http://www.majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Slim_No_Yahoo_Toolbar_English_d4191.html ".
    but once again be sure to keep all back ups when prompted.
