Hi Gerard,
Are you certain there's no traces of MacKeeper left?
I have no idea how they can get away with advertising MacKeeper at all.
You really really need to uninstall it, but maybe not using their uninstaller.
Klaus1's great post on MacKeeper...

Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Reboot & see if Flash Installer works.

Flash Player Install Problems - Mac
I've tried installing the latest (10.3) flash player and, while it says that it successfully installed, when I go to the flash player page where it tells me what version I have (http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) it still says 10.0.22.87 and when I try to watch anything on hulu it prompts me to install 10.3 again.
I'm on a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 and am using the latest version of firefox.
I've tried using firefox and safari, have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and nothing seems to work. It just says it has installed successfully and the same problems happen. I am at a loss.

Flash Player Install Problem - Mac
Hi Folks,
I can see that this issue has been addressed many times over, but the suggested solutions I've followed aren't helping.
First my system:
iMac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8)
I'm using Firefox 18.0
What I've done so far:
Uninstalled previous versions of Flash Player
Checked the Library to delete any related Flash files (there weren't any)
Downloaded the new Player installer (several times)
Rebooted the computer (more than once)
Looked in the Contents>Resources folders for the Adobe Flash Player.pkg ... it wasn't there
Allowed add-ons from Adobe
Looked in Preferences to enable any plug-ins or add-ons that might be related (didn't any).
I'd very much appreciate pointers to the next thing I should try.
Thanks!This might not help, but I remember my PPC mini (1.25gHz G4) enlightened me to the limitations of the PPC mini.
Namely, video.
I had a favorite game, Stubbs the Zombie-Rebel Without a Pulse, and I played it for two years on my iMac. The the iMac cooked and I was left with my mini.
No more Stubbs because the video wouldn't support it. Not enough VRAM or not the right kind.
Two other games went the same route.
I didn't have Flash problems, but I was running Player 9 up until the mini died last summer.
Of all three games the mini wouldn't run, none is usable now because they don't run in Snow Leopard. I guess it's a good thing because if I was playing games all day I'd never learn anything in school.
The Flash Player 10 requirements say 64Mb (852x480 (480p),24 fps), 64Mb (1,280x720 (720p),24–30 fps) or 128 Mb (1,920x1,080 (1080p),
24 fps) of VRAM. My G4 only had 32Mb and that killed it for gaming.
Your Apple System Profiler will indicate how much VRAM is in your mini. -
Flash player installation problem on MAC
I have repeatedly tried to download and install Flash player v14 for my MacBook Pro and it constantly hangs at the "Retrieving Install" screen never moving past 0%. Then it times out and says the install has failed. I have also completely wiped old versions of Flash from my system (now NO Flash-enabled sites will work at all--even more frustrating).
Any clues to remedy? Thanks.The new Adobe Flash 14 installer does not work when you have an automatic proxy set. I've installed many versions of Flash on Mac without problems, but the new v.14 installer would never even start the download. (Of course the installer dmg would download, but when I ran the installer app, the download of Flash would not start, seemingly hanging at "Retrieving Installation"). I tried the uninstaller, which worked great. Then I tried installing v.13, which also worked fine. But I only got v.14 to install after I ... went to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies and de-selected Automatic Proxy Configuration. Be sure to make a note of your Automatic Proxy URL, because after installing Flash and going back to the network Preference, I saw that the Automatic Proxy Configuration field was blank. But when I re-entered my APC URL, and clicked to select APC, all was well and I had flash installed while still able to browse external web sites when behind my companies firewall.

Hi, I have had a terrible time trying to install Flash Player. I used to have it but recently lost it and can not install it anymore. I get a Failed to Register error message about halfway through the install. I am running IE11, McAfee Virus software and have purchased and ran RegCure Pro. My active x is turned off and I tried to install with a new admin account. Nothing has worked. My virus software has only quarantined one potentially unwanted program - Generic Pup .a I think the quarantine happened around the same time but it may not be even related. I have a 2.7 GHz processor and Windows 7. Any suggestions on how I can reload Flash Player? It used to work and update all the time. Thank you
If you installed the legitimate Flash Player activeX control
installer from
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
then no, we wouldn't be looking for Compuserve.
Now, I have seen one or two sites spoofing the Flash Player
installer for malicious purposes. If it doesn't come from Adobe.com
it's not necessarily safe. But that isn't necessarily the problem
either.
If at some point Compuserve (which is a very legitimate and
venerable BBS that became a big ISP similar to AOL..) may have been
on your machine and installed some type of dialer application for
dialup connections. Look in add/remove programs to see if you have
any compuserve related entries. If there's nothing there look in
processes.
If you still don't find anything.. well then I'm not sure
where to go next. -

Adobe Flash Player Install problem
I have been trying to install Adope Flash player on my
computer. It seems to be installed but flash programs will not
open. When I look in the currently installed programs list the
Adobe Flash Player has a red X on it. What could be the possible
problem? I am using Windows XP home edition.
Thanks,Hi regztfen,
If you’re having difficulties with the ActiveX
installer on IE these steps will typically resolve the issue:
Try this first: Instructions for uninstalling and reinstalling
the Flash Player:
1. First download the uninstaller to your desktop from here
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
2. Before running this uninstaller be sure to read the
instruction and close all running programs.
3. Open the following folder
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
4. Run the uninstaller
5. What files are left in this folder?
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
6. If there are files left, delete the Flash folder.
7. Install the Flash Player from here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
8. Test the Flash Player here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
Also check your Internet Explorer ActiveX settings
Browser security settings should be chosen by you or by your
system administrator. For single users who do not have an
administrator, the Medium: Default Level allows you to view Flash
content. For any Custom Level, ensure that both the "Download
Signed ActiveX controls" and "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins"
options are set to "Prompt".
To change your security level:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Choose Tools > Internet Options.
3. Select the Security tab.
4. Select Custom Level.
5. Find the section "ActiveX controls and plug-ins".
6. Set ' Download Signed ActiveX Controls' to Prompt.
7. Set 'Run ActiveX Controls And Plug-ins' to Prompt.
If you are having trouble, make sure that your Internet
Explorer security level is not set to High or to a custom level
that does not allow viewing of ActiveX controls.
Finally, it may be that you have incorrect permissions in the
system registry:
To fix these Windows system registry permission conflicts you
can use Microsoft’s SubInACL tool.
Please download Microsoft’s tool to your desktop.
http://www.supportflash.com/reset_min.zip
1. Login as the User that has the incorrect permissions in
the system registry
2. unzip the “reset_minimal.cmd” and the
“subinacl.exe” to the desktop
*** Make sure both files are on the desktop
3. Close out all applications
4. Run the “reset.cmd” file
5. It will open a DOS like terminal and start running through
registry keys
6. When it is finished it will say “press any key to
continue”
7. At this point you can download the latest Flash Player
from here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
Test the Flash Player here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
If you still require support, please open a free support case

I have repeatedly downloaded lastest version of Flash Player, each time getting a successful download message. But each time I try to play video, I get a message that I need to download Flash. My computer meets all the requirements for Flash Player 11. What's wrong?
When we visit Flash Player Version, the window to showing the version is blank as is the earlier test video window.
We use the following:
OS Windows Vista Home Basic.
Browser Internet Explorer, MSN
We can play both videos you provided, as well as anything on youtube.
Following are URL's to videos that are not working. In every case, a message appears that need to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. After installing, same thing happens.

http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-march-11-2013/on-topic---indecision-2004
Also, can't see video on The Weather Channel App. In every case, a message appears that need to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. After installing, same thing happens. -
I am unable to watch most videos on my Macbook because i keep getting a message stating that I need to update to the latest version. When I try to do that, I get a prompt to enter my adobe password, but my password is not working at that prompt. That same password works on adobe.com though. Can someone help me?
I found the answer to this question.....Thanks!

Flash Player install starts, then fails.
My Flash Player install on my Mac fails after about 10 seconds. No message - just installation failed.
I've repaired permissions, closed my browser, cleaned up everything I can think of, all to no avail.
Any ideas?Chris,
I unistalled, which I had done previously. I didn't find any Flash Player files in the folders that are mentioned,
Delete all remaining files and folders locating in the following folders:
\Library\Internet Plug-Ins\Flash Player.plugin
\Library\Internet Plug-Ins\flashplayer.xpt
~\Library\Preferences\Macromedia\Flash Player\
~\Library\Caches\Adobe\Flash Player\
so I'm assuming a clean uninstall.
I then tried another Install and got the same result. Couldn't find a Flash Player Install log! Here's the Directory log.

Hope this means something to you.

Trying to install Adobe Flash Player 11 on my Mac...PluginProcess?
Trying to install Adobe Flash Player 11 on my Mac. The insallation stops and I am told to exit something called PlugInProcess. I don't know what it is. I don't show it being open. Any help?
The Plugin Process is an app that runs alongside Firefox and Safari when they're open. Lately Firefox's plugin process has been "hanging" on my Mini. I'll close the app but it keeps running and using RAM for several minutes.
Download the Mac Offline Installer here
Quit your browser and reboot if necessary to "kill" all processes.
Then mount the DMG and run the installer. -
