Adobe Flash Player 10.3 upgrade is essentially a computer virus...

Adobe Flash Player 10.3 upgrade is a worldwide disaster -- I am losing money every second because Flash screens now appears in the upper left-hand corner of the browser screen -- the user experience is ruined until Adobe finds the time to properly test a new upgrade release -- leave it to the "rookies" at Adobe to release a software upgrade that automatically loads, but then does not work -- Adobe Flash Player 10.3 is essentially a computer virus that is being installed globally...

FOR THOSE RUNNING IE9 ON WINDOWS 7 AND HAVE INSTALLED THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE FOR ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10.3 - TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
Open IE9 Browser window > Click on "Tools" > Click on "Internet Options" > Selct the "Advanced" Tab > Turn on/Click the "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering" > Click "Apply" > Click "OK" > Shut down and then restart your IE9 browser.
THIS WILL BE A TEMPORARY FIX FOR ANY ISSUES YOU MAY HAVE WITH THE CONSTANT FLOOD OF FLASHING ADS AND THE LIKE UNTIL A PATCH IS MADE AVAILABLE FOR THIS UPDATE.
OTHER QUICK FIXES WOULD INCLUDE:
1) UN-INSTALLING 10.3 AND RE-DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING 10.2 FOR THE TIME BEING. **BESURE TO AVOID RE-INSTALLING THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE OF 10.3 AGAIN**
2) DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING "MOZILLA FIREFOX" AND USING IT AS YOUR WEB BROWSER!!

Why can't I download Adobe Flash player since I upgraded to Yosemite?..

I have not been able to download Adobe flash player since I upgraded to Yosemite on my 13 in MacBook Pro purchased in Early 2011 Processor 2.3 GHz i5 Please Help!!

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

Adobe Flash Player 10 when installed closes the whole computer as soon as it is selected to 'play' a video clip from U Tube or any other source, I have uninstalled it and the problem goes away but I cannot play the clip.any answers?

Adobe Flash Player 10, when installed, closes the whole computer when it is used to play any clip from U Tube or other source. I uninstalled it and there was no further trouble but, of course, I cannot view the clip. If I reinstall it the same problem persists. I have contacted my 'computer guru' but his comment is that many of his clients have the same problem but it appears to be a problem with Adobe however many other friends have put in the version 10 Flash Player and have no problems. I do not appear to have any other problems with the computer such as viruses etc and it is scanned very day for such items. I would appreciate any advice you can give as it is very annoying, thanks, RAB

Me too!
On both IE8 and Firefox. Win 7 32 bit on IBM T42 - 1GB ram.
Old laptop I know but the 10.1.x.x Flash Players worked just fine. Problem started with 10.2.152.26 flash player.
Now BBC TV live and iPlayer work just fine, however YouTube does not - audio but no video. Just a black rectangle where the video should be.
Right click to get the menu and "settings" is greyed out. However select the pop-out option and the video plays. Right click on the pop-out and "settings" is available. So deselect "enable hardware acceleration", close the pop-out and refresh the window (F5) and now YouTube videos play. Switch hardware acceleration back on and now they don't.
This video works fine with hardware acceleration enabled. http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/features/video/h264/
These also work. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/stagevideo.html
Something broken in 10.2, I think.

Mozilla is currently developing an open standards-based Flash renderer called Shumway.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/Shumway
Available as an extension [http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/extension/firefox/shumway.xpi here]. ''< click to launch the add-on installer.''
''It seems to work fine on YouTube videos in the Firefox 31 release version, although it is somewhat CPU intensive.''
And also available in the Nightly development versions.
http://nightly.mozilla.org/
Feel free to try it out, but make sure you install it into its' own Program Files folderset and make sure you create a unique Profile for use only with Nightly. If the same Profile is used with both Release and pre-release versions problems sometimes arise after switching back and forth between different versions of Firefox. Basically, Nightly is like 18 weeks ''(at a minimum)'' removed from becoming a release version, but some projects stay on Nightly for a longer time as they are being developed. That happens to provide as many user / testers as possible, by not resorting to a separate development trunk version.

Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave crashing has disabled my computer

I have downloaded a second flash player and it is still the same. Firefox has been crashing daily for a few weeks. I noticed that your adblocker plus was updated 6/4. Since then I have almost no use of firefox, because the Adobe flash player 13.0.r0 and Shockwave crash notices are constantly popping up. Could that update have something to do with why the flash players are not working? Below are an example of the crash details.
Thanks for the help. I prefer your browser, but this has made it non-functioning.
In trying to fix it, a window came up that asked would I like to change it back to a previous working image, which was Windows XP. Although this computer is Windows 7, I clicked the box yes, and said I wanted it to work like Windows XP. I see in your Operating System below, that it reads Windows Xp, but this computer is actually Windows 7. I can't find that menu to change unclick and change it back, so that it is working as Windows 7.

AdBlock Plus isn't maintained or connected to Mozilla as they didn't develop it. ABP and Flash don't interfere with each other except on same cases that ABP blocks Flash content.
You can Try disabling Hardware Acceleration. <br>
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
If that doesn't work try Try to disable Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 and above by adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file located in one of these locations: [46]
(Windows 32bit) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
(Windows 64bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
For example, on a Windows 7 64-bit system, open the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, copy the file "mms.cfg" to the desktop, open it in Notepad, add a new line <code>ProtectedMode=0 </code> and then close Notepad, saving your changes. Next, go back to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, rename the original file to "mms.cfgBAK" (to save it as a backup) and then drag and drop in the modified "mms.cfg" file from the desktop. [47] [48] [49]
Note: To re-enable Flash Protected Mode, either restore a backup of the original mms.cfg file, if you saved one, or else re-edit the mms.cfg file to remove the <code>ProtectedMode=0 l</code> line you added. Updating Flash Player or installing a newer version does not automatically re-enable Protected Mode
Flash has been a pain since day 1 and Mozilla is currently working to replace Flash with Shumway. Unfortunately it's in the Nightly channel, doesn't come activated automatically and it isn't quite ready for normal usage. I just tested Nightly yesterday with Shumway and it wouldn't play.

I recently made firefox my home page and it always tells me I need to upgrade to the latest version of adobe flash player which is already installed on my computer. It neve allows me to view the videos that require a flash player?????? [SOLVED]

I can no longer play any video that requires a flash player even though it is installed on my computer

I solved the problem through trial, error then success

After the latest firefox upgrade and the Adobe Flash Player upgrade, Silverlight, which runs Netflix Instant, is not working... any connection? Thanks!

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Firefox/3.6.15 GTB7.1
That is my system info ~ my firewall is open and I have no anti-virus software installed.
On Netfilx, when I click Play on an Instant movie, a screen comes up that tells me there is an upgrade for Silverlight. Click the button, go thru what looks like a full install series of windows, go back to click Play, and the same screen comes up. It has happened for the last 48 hours or so, consistently. I opened Chrome and Safari, had the same result.
A Ustream site I follow, also using a Mac, has been getting kicked off that system all day, getting an error message that references Adobe Flash Player ~ he just upgraded, like I did, and wonders if there is a problem with it ~ got me thinking...
Thank You Firefox community!
GlenJudith

From what I can tell, the problem is not Silverlight, it is the flash plugin (10.3). I uninstalled and went back to FLASH 10.1 and Netflix, flash videos, flash based applications, etc all worked again on my brand new computer. Very unfortunate and frustrating.

Adobe Flash Player will not run since installing Firefox 25.0 upgrade

Windows 7 Home Premium X64.
My question says it all. Within Firefox's own system it says the flash player is update and enabled. Any place I go today and want to play something the page posts "Get Adobe Flash Player". I upgraded to Firefox 25.0 just before I retired for the night. Today Flash Player will not work.
Within Tools>Options>Content the option to turn java off and on is no longer there. I believe you folks have CREATED A BIG BUG!!!!!

Your statement: "I missed that Firefox 25 turned on "click to play" as the default behavior for plugins. I assume you prefer to have Flash run automatically if you've approved the site in NoScript."
I didn't read anything anywhere, nor was I aware of the fact that Firefox may have changed "my" plugin settings, or broken them. How many users do you think there might be that have NoScript set this way for one or more sites.
I'm just saying it might have been nice to have been forewarned about this - obviously something that was KNOWN that the update was going to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Adobe Flash Player won't install. ( At all )

So when I try to install Adobe Flash Player, everytime, on every user on my computer, it always pops up when i launch it, but nothing happens.
It is just a boring gray screen.
I need Flash Player to play like all the games in the world ( exaggeration ) and I want it to work. Please just tell me what is wrong and what to do to fix it.
Here is a pic of what happens.
Just please tell me what is wrong. Thanks.

Okay. Go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
From the

Flash Player 16.0.0.305 (Win and Mac)
Locate and click on the Mac OS X (intel) Download DMG Installer. User Finder to open your downloads folder. Locate "install_flash_player_16_osx.dmg" This file should be 15.6 MB with a Feb 3 date. Double click on the file to install.

Adobe flash player issue

hello, would u help me with my adobe issue? it happens that the adobe flash player doesn't work correctly on my computer with OS windows 8, i have got the most recen version installed and appears an issue in it, would you tell me what's going on please? [email protected] thanks

The Flash Player version that is compatible with a Windows 8 32-bit OS and a Google Chrome browser is Version 11.5.31.2. You might have a 64-bit OS, which may not work on a 32-bit OS (what a mess). I'm still not sure which version is compatible specifically for Google Chrome Windows 8, 64-bit OS. With the Internet Explorer browser, you can use Version 11.3.376.12 for Windows 8. Hope that helps some at least.

Why do i have to re-install Flash player each time I shut off my computer?

Anytime I want to watch a video on the internet it says I must install a flash player so I go on line and download Adobe Flash player. But once I shut my computer down the flash player goes away.

Try a clean install as described in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
Download the installers from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#Ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment

Adobe Flash 12 for windows 7 : Seems infected by a Virus or Trojan

Adobe 12 seems infected with a virus. After installing Adobe Flash 12 my computer is controlled by some program that tries to immediately connect to the internet and play VERY IRRITATING sounds that sound like someone is changing a radio station constantly. Sounds from the NEWS, Music and vulgar content material is streamed from the internet to my computer even though I have not connected to the internet. This virus on Adobe immediately connects to the internet if I have a connection. When I select my speaker and mixer control I see "Unknown Device" as the source of the sounds from the internet.
I can MUTE the application in the mixer but the malicious program continues to run.
My antimalware and antivirus software cannot eliminate this computer virus because it is part of the Adobe Flash 12 software that was installed.
The only way I can eliminate the problem is to UNINSTALL the Adobe Flash 12.
Does anyone know why Adobe Flash 12 seems to be infected with a computer virus or trojan?
I recommend everyone avoid using Adobe software as they seem to have a malicious computer virus embedded in their software.
Continual use of Adobe Flash 12 can result in others invading your computer and the loss of private information so I suggest everyone stop using Adobe Flash 12 until it is cleaned of the virus.
Do you want your computer to constantly dial up the internet without your permission and transfer data to unknown persons?

Mike,
After I installed the software you recommended there was more to the story from my last email.
My computer was now much worse and out of control so I was forced to turn off my machine and cold restart it.
The computer would not restart at all. It tried to start windows but instead it ran in an infinite loop. I would see the Dell screen and then the Windows would pop up saying it was restarting and then it would go bland and the Dell Screen would pop up and then the Windows restart screen again and again and again.
I shut it down and tried to start it in Safe Mode. That wouldn't work either. It was stuck in a loop just like in Normal mode.
So I had to shut down and do a System Restore to a selected REstore point.
That worked and now my computer is as it was before but it still has the virus and if I try to use Adobe Flash it will again connect to internet and play irritating sounds.
So what could have fixed this problem? Should I have quarantined the 4 offending files or just the DCOM file?
Why did your software nearly destroy my computer's ability to restart?
What do you suggest?
