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.

Unable to install and uninstall Adobe Flash Player

Hi,
i hope there is someone here that can help me. i've recently upgraded to 10.4.11. There was a problem with safari, which i learned was related to Adobe Flash player. part of the fix is to uninstall the flash player. I downloaded the uninstaller and ran it. I noticed the progress bar didn't even move, it stayed at 0 for over 15 mins. I had to force quite the application.
I then tried running just the adobe flash installer. Similar problem.
the uninstaller and installers that were downloaded are both made for PowerPC macs.
Is there something wrong with my mac? someone please help me. i can't watch youtube or go to any flash heavy sites.

Do I need to uninstall Adobe Flash Player?

I have been trying to download the up to date Flash Player for months now. When I try, I get the message that it couldn't be downloaded. I've been through help sites that guided me to adjust Internet Explorer security setting and everything looks good. I, also, check the google crome settings and they were fine, too. I tried disabling my McAfee firewall. No luck. I can't download Acrobat documents, now. For example, I couldn't download a Acrobate version of an old credit card statement.
Do I need to unintall all of my Adobe programs and reinstall them to make things work correctly. I'm using Windows 7.

uninstall your flash player, http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
then download and install the flash player needed by your web browser:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

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. :-)

Uninstalling Adobe Flash Player

Would anything happen if I uninstall Flash Player 15 ActiveX? Is it necessary for my computer?
I have Windows 7 if it makes any difference.
Thanks.

I actually used this code:
:: Adobe Latest Install::
:: 32 bit version ALL Browsers ::
:: KILL ALL PROCESSES FLASH USES ::
taskkill /IM firefox* /f
taskkill /IM iexplore* /f
taskkill /IM aim* /f
taskkill /IM ypager* /f
taskkill /IM yupdater* /f
taskkill /IM yahoo* /f
:: UNINSTALL ALL VERSIONS OF FLASH ::
"\\NETWORK LOCATION\Adobe\Adobe Flash Player\Uninstall\uninstall_flash_player_32bit.exe" -uninstall {activex}
"\\NETWORK LOCATION\Adobe\Adobe Flash Player\Uninstall\uninstall_flash_player_32bit.exe" -uninstall {plugin}
msiexec /x "NETWORK LOCATION\Adobe\Adobe Flash Player\32bit\install_flash_player_11_active_x_32bit.msi" /qn
msiexec /x "NETWORK LOCATION\Adobe\Adobe Flash Player\32bit\install_flash_player_11_plugin_32bit.msi" /qn
:: INSTALL FLASH PLAYER FOR INTERNET EXPLORER
%comspec% /c msiexec /i "NETWORK LOCATION\Adobe\Adobe Flash Player\32bit\install_flash_player_11_active_x_32bit.msi" /qn
:: INSTALL FLASH PLAYER PLUGIN FOR FIREFOX, ETC.
%comspec% /c msiexec /I "NETWORK LOCATION\Adobe\Adobe Flash Player\32bit\install_flash_player_11_plugin_32bit.msi" /qn
Works on my two PC's that were failing. Need to test on others to verify.

Can I uninstall Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX?

I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to Adobe Flash Player 11 but when I look in the Programs and Features, I see:
Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X
Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin
The Flash Player 10 Active X is an old version that was installed 2 years ago. Should I just uninstall that Active X? Or, keep it?

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X - This is the Active X Control for Flash Player 10 (Flash Player for Internet Explorer)
Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin - This the plugin for Flash Player 11 (Flash Player for other browser, like : Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome)
If you do not need Flash Player for Internet Explorer, then you can uninstall Flash Player 10 Active X.
Thanks,
Vikram

How do l uninstall Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook book air

I have no sound from my MacBook Air, is because l installed Flash Adobe Player in order to watch bbc iplayer

are you completely sure of that?
Right now if you sleep your Air with headphones in, you will lose sound and need to reboot in some peoples instances, and I have verified same.
This of course has nothing to do with Adobe flash player.
Verify this point before uninstalling same.

While trying to fix a blocked plug-in problem, I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player and now cannot reinstall. Help!! Please.

I am trying to fix a blocked plug-in. I unstalled Adobe Flash Player and now cannot re install. Any help would be appreciated.

More info. Why can't you reinstall? Something is preventing reinstalling? If so what? What occurs when you try?
Or you don't know how to reinstall?

Cannot uninstall Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X

hi.
i am using avast free antivirus.
they have a software updater and all was fine until last week when my flashplayer activex got stuck 'preparing' to update (it seems 'stuck') and never fully updates.
i was in touch with avast community (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=150163.new;topicseen#new) and was given links to uninstall flashplayer plugin (and all background files).
i followed instructions to remove without using Control Panel via http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html but still stuck 'preparing' to update.
obviously something is corrupted, but since i cant find flashplayer or activex on my system (searched thru start button), i've no idea where to turn.
any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

hey pat,
thank you so very much for continuing to follow up. i very much appreciate it.
i'm not sure if the problem is with avast or flash player.
i uninstalled completely (as far as i know ...and per your instructions nothing remains on my computer for flash player)
avast has a software updater and i usually get a popup when there is an update i need to install.
i got an update last week saying a few programs needed updating, and i updated them all. flash player was one of the programs.
when i clicked on flash player to update, it began updating (which is why it said 'preparing'), but never fully updated.
it got 'stuck' in 'preparing' mode.
on this software updater, one can see the icon for the program, but next to the words flash player all i see is what was in the screenshot (i think it is the icon for an executable??)
regarding what i have installed right now, again, i completely uninstalled flash player and did all the steps noted in my initial post, so currently i have no flash player installed.
when i was trying all sorts of things, i did uninstall and reinstall a few times, but that did not fix the issue.
i think i sent you an icon of avast that stays in my taskbar. it is orange all the time, but every few minutes it turns to blue (then back to orange) to show me that it is working.
i was wondering if this is using flash, which might affect the uninstall (as the instructions said to stop all programs using flash).
i hope this helps explain things...and thank you so much again.

How to radically uninstall Adobe Flash Player?

I'm probably not the first one to ask this but a definite reply/solution would gain in being repeated here again. So, I want to eradicate from my HD (Lion) any and all files however small associated with this insane piece of software (updated again today!). What should/must I trash precisely? I don't trust the Uninstall Flash Player from Adobe. I'm not so sure it removes everything.
Thanks!

Download the free Easy Find here
http://www.devon-technologies.com/files/EasyFind.app.zip
Log into Admin user if not already, use it to find all instances of "Macromedia" this will also delete your hidden Flash cookies too.
Log into each user and use it again.
If you need a automatic Flash cookie deletion, use Firefox and BetterPrivacy or Ghostery "enable Flash cookie delete" in it's preferences.
There is also AD Block Plus and Click2Clean, NoScript and Flashblock
And for extra paranoia, download the free OnyX for OS X and run ALL the cleaning and maintainence aspects and reboot.

Then run Disk Utility > erase free space option when your done.
There is also CCleaner for Mac, in Beta, but can combine the cleaning and scrubbing in one shot.
