McAfee installed with Adobe Flash Player 12 plugin update

Why did McAfee Security Scan Plus install when I updated Adobe Flash Player 12 plugin?

As I said in my first post, I not only saw this "no opt out" bundling myself, but I screencapped it and documented it.
That was... wait for it... LAST JULY.
If anyone had the intention of ending it, they would have by now.
THIS is the reason I always update EVERYTHING (Windows, OS X, CS3, CS4, CS5, CS5.5 and CS6, Office, Roxio... you name it) manually.
Microsoft keeps trying to push 8.1 and their %&#*'ing "Bing Desktop" with EVERY Windows Update, even though I've hidden both mutlitple times. You can't even update Java without the freakin' "Ask Toolbar" being pushed at you.
I know I'm not going to change it, so I changed my process for updating stuff.

Firefox 3.6.23 having freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin

Firefox 3.6.23 is experiencing constant freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, not sure if it is a conflict issue or not.
Since the update there had been no reported issues till today when the blue screen came up on me, this issue prior to plug in 11 had occurred at least 6 times, this issue only happens on firefox.
I do not wish to update since recent firefox browsers seem to have a lot of ongoing issues.

Anyone able to help please?
Thanks.

I recently installed Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin, and now can't play any videos from any website in Mozilla, but Google Chrome works.

Cannot play any video from any website in Mozilla after installing Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin. However, I can play videos from Google Chrome and also from Internet Explorer. For example, when I'm trying to play a you tube video in Mozilla, a black screen comes up with following error message: "An error has occurred. Please try again later."
(This is like the Wizard of Oz -- when the man comes to the little window in the door and says to Dorothy, "Come back tomorrow." )

This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

HowTo : Manual install of Adobe Flash Player plugin in FF4

Hi,
Is there any way to get the Adobe Flash Player's plugin working in FF4.0b5 with no installer ?
Here's what I found about FF3 : http://www.acidlabs.org/2006/09/05/installing-flash-in-portable-firefox-with-no-installer/
I'd like to obtain similar result with my FF4... How should I do ?
Thanks.

That method will also work in Firefox 4 beta, just change the location to where Firefox 4 beta is installed and create the plugins folder inside the Firefox installation directory. In Firefox 4 beta the plugins folder does not exist, but if you create one Firefox will look for plugins in that folder.

I am running Windows 7 Professional. When I try to install Flashplayer, I get to step 3, and then the installaion will not proceed any further. A blank dialog box appears, with Adobe Flash Player Installer in the upper left corner. I have tried to install on Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. Nothing works. Please help.

1. Restart your computer to stop any Adobe process that is running.
2. Click on the following Adobe link. Go to the bottom where it says "Still having problems?". Click on the version of Flash Player for your browser.

Apple dropped playback support for .swf formats in QuickTime almost ten years ago.
Adobe Flash Player is the only way to view them.

I believe that it is not Adobe or Flash Player doing this, but so far none of the other users who made similar complaints have posted a screenshot.

Distribution MSI for Adobe Flash Player for Plugin Browser

The MSI File provided for distributing Adobe Flash Player for Plugin based browsers (in this case Firefox) is not working when we test in our test environment.
It is working with the Windows XP Clients in the test group however it does not work with the Windows 7 Client Machines. Firefox prompts for a manual download of the adobe flash software. After the manual install of the Software flash player is working but there is a new item in the program catalog. Adobe Flash Player Plugin it's size is 6.00MB. Comparatively the size that is installed by the MSI is 16.xxMB and it doesnt work.
What I have tested
WSUS Install of MSI - Failed, Firefox prompts to install adobe flash
Client Install of MSI - Failed, Firefox prompts to install adobe flash
Intercept EXE from Temp Directory and then install after uninstalling MSI - Works
The problem appears to be in the MSI, like I said before it is working for the Windows XP Clients. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Anand,
If you have licensed Flash Player for distribution (which appears to be what you are doing), you should have received an email with the download links for the installers. If you are distributing Flash Player without first licensing it for such, you must apply for a distribution license at Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe. Once you do this, you will receive an email with the links to download Flash Player.
Further information on licensing, and distributing Flash Player within your organization is available in the Adobe Flash Player Administration Guide for Flash Player | Adobe Developer Connection.

Adobe Flash Player 11 plugin not working right

I have Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, Widows Internet Explorer 8 and Microsoft Windows XP, version 5.1.2600. Why is it not dowloading pictures?

You might as well stop wasting your time. The problem seems to be centered around FireFox (since Adobe Flash seems to work fine with IE and Chrome). After FireFox begin running Flash as a separate process, it no longer retains preset volume settings for Flash, instead, each new FireFox window resets it to max volume. As a result, several times I've had my ears blasted (this can lead to hearing loss and/or damaged audio equipment). This only happens with newer versions of Flash. Consequently, I no longer use the latest versions in FireFox. I'm thinking about totally dropping FireFox and moving completely to Chrome. Looks like neither Adobe or FireFox are gonna budge to fix the problem.

Problem with adobe flash player on my new computer

I bought a new computer window 8 and as you know adobe flash player is already installed but now flash player won't play some videos on the windows 8 internet exploer unless i swicthed it to the desktop. when i try to watch it says i need to install flash player but i have flash player that says on windows 8. so i there any way i can watch my videos?

This reply is to both of you trying to help me through my ordeal with Adobe Flash Player. I followed both of your advices to no avail. I even enlisted the help of my husband to see if I was doing something wrong or missing a step. He assured me I was doing everything by the book.
Well, bottom line is number
1: I never found "Extensions Adds ons and Plug Ins" in Firefox. I looked everywhere and it's simply not on my screen. I opened everything, looked at every line, every box, every space (with my husband next to me looking also).
Number 2: I got a message that reads: Firefox prevented this site (get Adobe.com) from asking you to install software on your computer.
By the way, I uninstalled Webroot at the beginning and never reinstalled it. Restarted my computer. Tried all the steps you guys suggested, restarted my computer I don't know how many times.
One time I got Adobe Flash Player installed "successfully" and then I got excited and tried YouTube, videos on Facebook, CNN and guess what? Nothing. No Adobe Flash Player.
By the way, my husband has the same problem at his work computer. He got an Information Systems technician to work on this and voila! he could not fix the problem either. Any other suggestions out there? If anybody from Adobe reading this?
To say I am fed up is putting it mildly. I am so mad at Adobe for putting this piece of garbage out there. I can only compare it to Vista.
Oh by the way, I keep getting this notice that my" windows drivers are out of date" and guess what? I have no idea which ones because they don't say. I checked my updates and supposedly I am up to date. I went to Microsoft and they have a million, so how am I supposed to know which ones?
I am also upset at Microsoft, ha, ha.
I am going to bed, tomorrow will be another day.

Update problems with Adobe Flash Player preinstalled via Chrome. Can any one help?

Dears, I am using the Chrome and it says it has installed the Adobe Flash Player and the auto updater. I selected to be advised every time an update is available, before it gets installed. During the start up of my Windows system (i.e. the "autoexec" run) the Flash Player auto updater sometimes indicates there is an Adobe Flash Player update to be installed. Most of the time it is indicated BEFORE the autoexec finishes its sequence and thus still do not have an internet connection perfectly set up. At this point in time the adobe flash player auto updater window indicates there is an error and asks me to retry. Normally I wait a few seconds so the Autoexec run is finished and retry again. Most of the time the adobe flash player auto updater window indicates a second error message, claiming there is still an error. I have already attempted to connect the internet again and normally I am successful, indicating there is NOT a problem with the internet connection. At this point I give up trying to update the Adobe Flash Player and close the window. Can someone give me some light on how to fix this????

The Adobe Flash Player updater DOES NOT update the PepperFlash plug-in in Chrome. Chrome uses a PPAPI plug-in and Adobe ONLY updates the NPAPI plug-ins for IE and other browsers. You can ONLY update the PepperFlash plug-in for Chrome by updating Chrome. The PepperFlash plug-in is a separate file in a separate folder location.

Adobe Flash Player 10 PlugIn

Firefox 6.0.2
Windows 7 64 bit
I installed Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin today. When I go to Control Panel/Programs/Programs and Features it indicates that I have the new program as well as Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX. Should I delete Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX?
Where can I find Flash Player 10 Plugin on my computer?
Thank you.

The ActiveX version of Flash Player is used for Internet Explorer. Unless you really don't need it, I'd suggest keeping it installed. You won't find Flash Player in your start menu, but the actual files can be found here:
Windows 32 bit: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
Windows 64 bit: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

Hi,
Download and install ActiveX if you use Internet Explorer.
You need to install plug-in if you use Firefox, Opera, or Safari.
The following link has step-by-step information: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_heading_5
Also, after installing ActiveX, ensure that you disable ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer. See the following link for details: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_

I have a problem with adobe flash player

I have a problem with adobe flash player.
It is install but not running

Try a fresh install of Flash after completely uninstalling it using the application Adobe Flash Player Install Manager, in the Utilities folder. Then re-download and install from ww.adobe.com
If you are still having problems you could try installing Google Chrome as it has its own version of Flash built-in and doesn't require the separate installation of Flash.
