  • How To Uninstall Adobe Flash Player

    Installed Adobe Flash Player and now my browser encounters
    substantial difficulties on many of the websites I really need. I
    tried to uninstall it using the Settings/Control Panel/Add Remove
    Programs button but when I click on the Change/Remove button on the
    Adobe Flash Player program it does absolutely nothing. I'm using
    Windows 2K and IE 6.0.
    Thanks,
    LongFisher

    That is strange that it doesn't do anything. I was about to
    suggest that. Does anyone know of a uninstaller that is with Flash
    Player, like what seems to come with much software now-a-days? Are
    you planning on re-installing it once you have uninstalled it? By
    the way, I really suggest downloading IE v7. There are tabs. They
    take some getting used to, but really handy. :-)

  • How to uninstall adobe flash due to unstable web browser issues

    My browser is flickering trying to resolve flash applications. How do I resolve this?

    Is this happening only on websites that use Flash technology (e.g., YouTube)?
    What version of Flash player are you running? The latest version is 11.5.502.110.

  • I need to uninstall Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0

    I need to uninstall Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0 but have looked everywhere for how to do this & can not find out how to do this can someone please help? I am using A Sony Vaio, Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, I use Chrome Version 36.0.1985.143 m.
    I want to get it off of my system because ever since I installed it I have had problems with Chrome loading it does not want to load then if I restart my comptuter & I click on chrome  5 windows open up at one time a white box appears saying "Your profile can not be used because it is from a newer browser version of google chrome. Some features may be available. Please specify a different profile directory  or use a different version of chrome" then if you click ok it shuts all the windows down. I have figured a way to get one window to stay open so I can use chrome, now I do have other browser I can use but I do not like them  at all & do not have a flash player since mine is built in with Chrome. So on to the other problem that began as soon as I downloaded this & I understand it may not be this but I still want to get it off of my computer. I also have been having trouble with my flash player error messages: saying it has stopped working constantly, it says upgrade flash text, a plug in shock wave flash isn't responding then in (stop plug in) it wants you to hit.  I have run 3 different Mallware programs through my computer just in case that was one question that was going to be ask. No other programs jave been downloaded wither.
    I am not very good with computers so I have to come to places like this for help & I really have to have help explaining what to do because  do not know much about computers other then getting on them & surfing the web & some basic things. When chromes message said specify a different profile directory that went right over m head. So that should give you an idea where I am coming from. I want to thank you in advance & hope I have made sense in what I have written I tried to give all the information that I could.

    Your screenshot of task manager clarifies things.
    When I replied, I had been looking at the screenshot of the desktop from the original poster, which shows the uninstaller executable and it's properties.  That executable doesn't install anything -- it can just be dragged to the trash; however, that didn't completely align with the behaviors either of you were describing, and we've been trying to figure out what you were talking about.  It wasn't making a lot of sense to me, and it's not a question that I've seen come up before, at least not articulated this way.
    FlashUtil32_XX_XX_XX_XX.exe is the sandbox broker for Internet Explorer.  You can read more about the sandbox work here: Flash Player Security with Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10
    The description listed in Task Manager is a bug, and the source of the confusion.  We've been doing a lot of work modernizing our build systems, and this is fallout from that work. This is something I'd like to see cleaned up, but it's pretty low on the list of priorities.
    The broker service is invoked when Internet Explorer is running in Protected Mode.  On my Windows 7 machine running IE 10, running Flash content in Internet Explorer with Protected Mode enabled causes the broker service to be invoked (this is probably true for previous versions as well, but I didn't test them).  If I disable Protected Mode and restart Internet Explorer, the broker is not invoked, which is expected.
    To disable Protected Mode, launch Internet Explorer and choose security.  Uncheck Enable Protected Mode.  Internet Explorer will restart, and you should be able to verify that the broker is no longer invoked when loading content with Flash Player.
    I've included a screenshot showing the expected processes in both scenarios below.  As the Flash Player ActiveX control is loaded into an Internet Explorer process, you'll see the child explorer.exe process listed, which hosts the Flash ActiveX control in the process list.
    Sandboxing the Flash Player plug-in is an important security mitigation intended to increase the cost of successfully developing and deploying malware.  While it's not a panacea, it significantly raises the bar for attackers.  As I'm sure you've read in the news and trade literature, the threat landscape has evolved significantly over the last few years, and modern security threats and their mitigations are a necessary reality.  New mitigations typically come with some additional processing overhead.  The overhead varies based on the architectural choices made by the particular browser vendors, but the overhead in IE is pretty reasonable.
    We haven't published a blog post specific to IE, but if you're interested in the implementation details, the sandbox architecture is similar to what we did with Protected Mode for Firefox on Windows.  The Flash Player process that handles untrusted content runs at Low Integrity, which restricts access to critical system resources in the event that you encounter malware designed to take control of the Flash Player process.  Access to system resources is negotiated through a Medium Integrity broker process.  Without Protected Mode, the Flash Player process handling untrusted content runs at Medium Integrity, making it easier for malware to escalate privileges from a hijacked process.  Depending on the functionality in play, a lot of message-passing can take place between IE, the broker and Flash Player.  We've effectively doubled the number of messages that get passed, plus put a bunch of validation checks in, and all of that consumes CPU.  It also makes your web browsing activity more secure.
    Some desktop applications (Yahoo Messenger, for example) also use the ActiveX version of Flash Player installed on your machine.  This could explain why you see Flash Player and the broker invoked unexpectedly.  We're also aware of an issue on Vista where the broker doesn't always exit as expected.  In that instance (and on WinXP), I'd highly recommend that people use Google Chrome for web browsing, as Google has extended some security mitigations that would only be available to Internet Explorer users running in newer versions of Windows, and it doesn't suffer from this specific issue with the broker.

  • Just updated to Yosemite, can't update or uninstall adobe flash, system hangs

    Just updated to Yosemite, can't update or uninstall adobe flash, system hangs, have to force quit,.

  • How to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

    how to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

  • Cannot Uninstall Adobe Flash on iMac

    Hello,
    I'm trying to Uninstall Adobe Flash Player. I've gone to the Adobe website and clicked on the appropriate uninstall link. However, it didn't work. The link takes me to the right uninstallation, however after I download it and open it up, it freezes or just stops working and won't proceed with the uninstall.
    So how can I get this off my computer? Any ideas? I'm irritated and tired of not being able to play videos on my computer, which only occurred after installing Adobe Flash.
    Thanks! 

    I've the latest Flash Player on my machine and have no issue playing any flash videos on four different OSs. If the down'oaded uninstaller isn't working, DL a fresh copy. Ensure you're getting the right one and set your download, thusly:

  • Uninstalling Adobe Flash from my laptop

    I'm a totally computer retard....How do I fully uninstall Adobe Flash Player from my laptop? 
    Every since my friend tried to put it on my computer, it didn't install properly and now
    I'm getting all sorts of warnings in my Systems Log Queries? :-/
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for any help with this.
    Cheers,
    ~Sylkia

    No, I would ask tech support at Adobe since it's their product. But I might hazard a guess you have a problem with your system, so before you run off to the Apple store and pay for service that you give this a try.
    First, be sure Flash has been uninstalled. Second:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    There is no such Flash Player version; the highest 10.x version released was 10.3.183.16 and is available from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    However, version 10.x will not run in 64-bit browsers, you will need Flash Player 11.1 for that.

    how to install adobe flash player

    Go to Adobe's web page - www.adobe.com - and in the Downloads area click on Adobe Flash Player. When you get to the page click the Install now button. This should download an installer file to your computer, usually it gets put in your Downloads folder. Once download is complete, find the file that was downloaded (typically named something like AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_xxxxxx.dmg) and double click on it. Follow the on screen instructions to complete the installation.
    Best of luck.
