Let's see if I can help you here. NPSWF32.dll is a plugging for your browser for shockwave flash. So you need to update shockwave.
Flash.ocx are all adobe flash player. So you will need to go to adobe and download the newest version of adobe flash for firefox or IE both if you have both browsers. Download them to your desktop. Uninstall adobe flash. Make sure your browser is closed. Then With your browser still closed install new version of Adobe flash. Adobe Air.dll I don't have adobe Air. If you can update it. If not you will have to uninstall Adobe Air and install the new version.
msxml4 adn l6 dll have something to do with microsoft, and user are having a hard time trying to figure this one out on the Kaspersky forums so I'm giving you the links where you can read about it.

Here's a link to Secunia, it scans your computer for vulnerabilities and gives you download links for each one. It might be easier if you use it, at least you would know you where getting the right stuff.

It's not very clear I know. You might update the Flash Player and Shockwave Player and still being detected as vulnerable because of the older versions of .ocx and .dll are still existing in System32 folder of Macromed. Even uninstalling Flash Player and Shockwave Player via Add/Remove may not guarantee to remove the older versions of .ocx and .dll. I will tell you how to solve them and give you the links to fix them because I got Kaspersky Internet Security and I have done them before myself.
For the Flash.ocx and Flash10a.ocx - you can use the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller to remove them and then install the latest Adobe Flash Player for both IE and Firefox.

NPSWF32.dll is a Adobe Shockwave plug-in and again, you can use the Shockwave Uninstaller to remove that and install the latest version.

Fot msxml4.dll and msxml6.dll, see the link from Kaspersky forum. You will have to read through and try out to see if one of the solution works. See the Wikipedia to explain about what is MSXML
