  • How do i remove flash player from my mac? or find out if it is malware? i recently got a download and it is acting strange...

    I am concerned the flash player maybe a virus? how can I tell? I have updated software from Apple... but every time I watch youtube or other sites... a pop up  come come from flash player and asks for permission... I always deny... but this is new... I have never had this problem prior to the flash player update...  thank you

    I had the same problem today. It probably started with few downloads from some websites.
    I got mine fixed by deleting suspicious .plist files in safari.
    You can go to finder and search for safari ,  Use the + sign in the top right corner and select  system files are included in the search. Then just delete the .plist files you think are suspicious.
    In my case, I just deleted all of them. And it worked for me.
    Hope it works for you too.
    Good luck

  • How Do I Stop Flash Player From Storing Cache?

    Windows XP SP3
    Latest Flash Player (i just upgraded it to the latest as of today)
    There are a couple of directories on my HDD that appear to be the place where Flash stores cache.
    One of them is (#1):
    c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache\
    The other is (#2):
    c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#sharedobjects
    These directories were so bloated with subdirectories that it literally took about 12 HOURS OR MORE to delete everything in them!  I'm not kidding.
    There must have been 100,000 subfolders or maybe even more in these folders.  They were choking everything on my computer that had to read past them.
    I FINALLY was able to delete everything from them after hours of work.
    Now I want to keep them empty, so this doesn't happen again but I can't find out how to do that.  It is so dang frustrating.  I looked and looked for a way to shut this storage off.
    I finally found the online "Settings Manager" and thought I FINALLY solved the problem after setting the "Global Storage" setting to "Never" and unchecking the "Allow third party Flash content to be stored on your computer" and "Store common Flash components to reduce download times" boxes.
    BUT NO!!!
    It didn't do a thing.  I looked at those two folders again and they are still being filled up with new subfolders!!!!
    UUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
    How do I keep Flash Player from storing this unwanted mess on my computer?!
    Thank you for ANY HELP!

    PS:
    Before I set the global settings as I stated above, I DELETED all the "Websites already visited" from the list in Settings Manager so that ALL Websites would be set according to the global settings.
    But none of that did a thing to stop the new folders from being created anyway.  How do I stop them??!!!

  • Was it a mistake to uninstall Flash Player from Windows 8?

    I have a Lenovo Y580 Laptop with IE10 windows 8.  I was not able to view embedded videos on websites and searched the problem online.  Somewhere I ran in to information about glitches with Flash Player and Windows 8.  I found instructions on how to delete Flash Player files from Windows 8 using a combination of the steps on the websites below.  Now I am able to view embedded videos but I don't understand exactly what I did/whether I will have issues in the future due to deleting Flash.  Now when I type in the search box for Flash Player it shows a Flash Player 32 Bit Flash Settings Manager.  Im confused as to what I deleted and what the cons to this may be as  I am not super computer savvy

    Hi,
    Flash Player is integrated with Internet Explorer in Windows 8. It's unnecessary to install or uninstall Flash Player.
    Since you have uninstalled, you may want to look at this document for reinstalling Flash Player: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html

  • How do I install flash player from the home screen?

    I am operating Mac OSX.  I have flash player version 16.0.0.  I can't play any videos because my flash player is out of date.  I download the latest flash player and when I go to install it, it takes me here www.adobe.com.  There is no "Install flash player" prompt like there used to be.  There is a "Download Creative Cloud" prompt for a fee.  I go to the menu and there is no install flash player prompt.  I go to Adobe Flash Player in the lower right hand corner and it prompts me to download the flash player again but not to install it and then I end up right back to the Adobe home screen again where there is no install flash player prompt.  I search "install flash player" and it takes me to a prompt to download the flash player again which of course brings me back to the home screen where again, there is no install now prompt.  I've been at this for days, extremely frustrated.  How do I install flash player?

    Hi Alicia,
    If the browser is opening when you attempt to mount the DMG image, then somehow, the browser has been set as the default program to open DMG files.  You'll need to change this association for the DiskImageMounter.app file to be the default program to open the DMG file.  Please do the following:
    Select the installer DMG file and CTRL-click on the DMG file.If DiskImageMounter.app is available, select that and skip to step 4 below
    From the menu, select Open With > and then select Other...to open Finder
    In Finder, navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices, look for DiskImageMounter.app and select it
    At the bottom center of the Finder window, put a check in the box next to Always Open With
    Click Open in the bottom right of the Finder window
    This will mount the DMG file revealing the installer app.
    Double-click the installer app (Install Adobe Flash Player.app) to launch the installer dialog window.
    Follow prompts to install Flash Player

  • How do I uninstall Flash Player?

    If you encounter problems installing Flash Player, the first thing we usually recommend is uninstalling previous versions.  While on Windows, Flash Player has an entry in the Add/Remove Program control panel, the most sure fire way is to use our stand alone uninstaller.  You can get directions on how to use these here:

  • How Do I Uninstall Flash Player v. 9.0.124.0?

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit.
    Secunia PSI shows that I have two versions of Flash Player installed:  11.6.602.171 (NAPI) and 9.0.124.0 (ActiveX).
    I have been trying to delete v. 9.0.124.0 because it is an old, unsecure version but have not been successful.  I used the Uninstall Flash Player utility available at:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    and made sure to follow all the instructions shown in paragraph No. 3 of that link.  Then I re-installed v. 11.6.602.171.
    As soon as I re-start my laptop, Secunia PSI shows that v. 9.0.124.0 is back.  (It is a file called Flash9t.ocx located in c:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash.  I have also tried to manually delete this file several times but it is re-created the next time I boot up!).
    So... how do I get rid of v. 9.0.124.0?

    I finally figured out how to solve the problem.
    * I deleted the file (Flash9t.ocx located in c:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash)
    * I performed a clean boot using these instructions:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 and discovered that the program that causes Flash Player 9 ActiveX to be re-created every time that I boot up is
       called ASUS Screen Saver Protector (AsScrPro.exe, v. 1.0.0.9), located in c:\Windows\.  Carefully follow the instructions in "How to determine what is causing the problem by clean boot".
    * I downloaded Autoruns (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx) and with that I unchecked the entry "ASUS Screen Saver Protector AsScrPro ASUS c:\windows\asscrpro.exe"
       so that it does not automatically load during startup anymore.
    * I ran Secunia PSI and it confirmed that Flash Player 9 ActiveX is gone!

    how do i uninstall flashplayer and get lightspaerk to take its place?

    From your list of plugins, it sounded as if LightSpark is already installed. Now we just need to disable the old version of Flash plugin so it doesn’t conflict with that.
