Installing the adobe flash player

I have not installed the adobe flash player because it says I might have to disable my virus safety net during the download process. I do not want to put my computer at risk for a virus at any time. How can I access the flash player without having to disable my virus safety net?

Depending what antivirus software you use, you may not need to do that. Some very aggressive AV may prevent Flash Player from being installed; most however do not.
Tell us more about your OS and AV, and someone will tell you what to do.

Is it safe to install the Adobe Flash Player on my new MacBook Pro 13"?

Is it safe to install the Adobe Flash Player on my new MacBook Pro 13"?

Yes, why not? But be sure to install it from the official Adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer.html

Because I have to install the Adobe Flash Player Active X or Normal?

Hello All, Fisrs, forgive my English because I am Spanish.
I can think of something funny to me. I have installed the Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X and I have Explorer 8 ( 32 bits ) , Windows Vista home Premium and every day asking me to install the Flash Player.
Happens if install the same to Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.5, in the same version yo have.
I see that every day, if I look at the progras I have istalled , see this Adobe Flas Player ( active X or normal ) with a blanc icon, not the typical figure of the program.
Not to do so the program gets installed forever. When yo reinstall it and the icon's own sotware.
I really apreciate it that I help them see than hapening and how I can solve. Thank you very match.
Grettings.

Hello and thank you
I am attaching a photo of what I have in the Flash folder you indicate, as a photo:
If it not attached the link see large:http://imageshack.us/f/840/sinflashejecutat.jpg/
And then run the Flash every day . Which I can only do so by accessing or a websit that you ask me, give OK when it asks me to activate the Active X and contiunue the process because if not, would have to install it each time since the Adobe web site.
You run the Flash Player 10 Active X , this would be the Flash folder you see in the picture below:
and also attached the lin for if you are not good:

TS1394 What can I do to install the Adobe Flash player? It seems to download, but then no save as or install options appears.

That is my question. The Adobe Flash Player does not download and give me a screen to finish the download. Any online articles, forms, etc that I want to view-my screen goes black. Is it the Plug-ins are missing? What are plug-ins. Be nice.

Once it's installed, be aware that it's not a standalone player - it's a browser plugin which installs in Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins and is accessible to all browsers.
And you are downloading directly from Adobe aren't you? Never trust pop-ups on websites that say you need a plug-in.

Hi,
I have been having some problems downloading this for over a year now even when I reinstall or reboot my pc or whatever, even change the security settings so I need your help. I found the support center which said:
http://http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#Download but then I dont even know how to locate the flash folder, where is that? How do I find it?
then do I have to highlight 10a before right clicking it? otherwise where do I right click exactly? when you say to run the flash player installer, do you mean to just click it? Cause I did and it came on but then even after downloading or installing the uninstaller and running it then installing again, it wont work even when I do that and then reboot my pc...Is there any possibility that it cant work on my pc? How would I know?
See...Im no tech expert so I really need your help. Please reply asap. Thanks a lotttt!!!

Hi, well I'm sorry you are having such a hard time. We'll see what the problem may be. First to answer your question,
the OS means operating system. Which if you are using Windows, then your OS is Vista. It could be XP or the newest one
which is Windows7, Win7 for short. Now if someone is using a Mac, then that would be their OS.
Now your computer and all computers can install and run Flash Player. However there are a few things that can cause a problem, so I'll list a few.
The first thing and most important is that you must be the Administrator of your computer. If this is your computer and you set up the accounts, the first account set up would be the Administrator account. You can look at that as the "Boss"
Now some people will set up accounts for other people but they are not Administrator accounts, they are called User or Limited accounts. They cannot be "Boss":-) There are some other things, but I'm stating it this way, so you can better understand.
When you Install programs, like Flash Player, you have to use the Administrator account to do so.
Don't think you are the only one having problems. We'll find out what it is and fix it.
Since using the Administrator account is the most important, I want you to go down to where the clock it. With your mouse, right click over the time that is showing. Then when the small window opens, left click on Adjust Date/Time.
Then post back and tell me what you saw.
Thanks,

Thank you

Do a full removal of the Flash Player, there is a removal
tool on the Adobe web site to do this:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
Use the tool because one of the reasons that the Flash player
doesn't work is that components of an old Flash player may have
been left behind on your system from a previous install that are
causing the current version not to work.
When you have downloaded the Removal Tool, make sure that you
close Internet Explorer and any other browser program that might be
using Flash, then run the tool and follow the instructions.
I'd restart the computer at this point just to be on the safe
side as it often helps to have your computer refreshed before
trying to reinstall Flash.
Once you have restarted your computer, go to the Adobe web
site and then click on the "Get Flash Player" link:
http://www.adobe.com
Follow the on screen instructions and Flash player should
then install for you and begin to work.

I can't install the adobe flash player.

when i want to install adobe flash plyer they ask me after a password, but i don't know which password it is.
i thought it is the password of this website. but it doesnt't work. please help me. i need the flash player for my facebook account. so please help me.

If you are installing on Mac OS it might be asking for your administrator account password.

I installed firefox beta on my google nexus 7 tablet i also installed the adobe flash player pluging its working but i have no sound?

no sound on adobe flash 11 plug in, video works but no sound

When doing playback on your device, have you check its volume is the correct? Remember Android has three volume controls you have to check: Multimedia, Notifications and Alarms.
If it is OK, then maybe the issue is on the site. Which site are you visiting? If you are trying to watch videos on Youtube maybe you'd better visit m.youtube.com where you can use tablet's native media player to watch the video.
In my tablet I can't event start Flash. It is installed and browsers detect it but movies just don't play. Flash for mobiles is very unstable.

After installing Firefox 6 Vimeo does not seem to properly recognise the browser and the Adobe Flash Player.

I automatically upgraded to Firefox 6. Whenever I try to view a video on Vimeo I either am told that:
'The video cannot be played with my current setup' and to switch to a browser with native H.246 support or to install the Adobe Flash Player.
or
That no mobile version of the video exists.
I have the Flash player installed and have reinstalled it. I have also reinstalled Firefox 6.

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.

Problems with the Adobe Flash Player

Hi
I`m trying to install the Adobe Flash Player, but, after I download the App and click, a text appear instead of the installer app. What is happening?

Can you post a screenshot of that: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933

A game that used to load in old browser does not load in Firefox, despite installing new version of the Adobe Flash player as instructed?

I used to have Internet Explorer as the browser on my laptop but had loads of problems. I installed Firefox as I had been told that it was more efficient. I play several application games within Facebook and one of them - Treasure Island Adventure Game - does not load whatsoever. It states if game does not load within 10 seconds to upgrade my version of the Adobe Flash player. I did that and re-started my laptop and the problem was not solved. I even deleted the application then loaded it up but it still did not make any difference.

Recently I cannot view certain attached videos because I need the adobe flash player. It does not get installed and the system says it will do so once firefox is closed. pl.help

recently certain video or pictorial attachments to my e-mails be opened because the system requires the installation of the Adobe Flash player with Java plug-ins. The message also gives a link for installation. It appears to install but nothing really happens. Then the message advises that it will install automatically once security is uninstalled or when Firefox is off. Nothing seems to work. Please help. P.S. I recently also installed the Firefox 4.0 version also

1.Download the Flash setup file from here using Firefox: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).
