Why should I allow Adobe Flash Player run all of a sudden almost every other minute?

I'm not updating I do not add plug-ins I have nothing, but browse the sites SAFE and all of a sudden, Adobe Flash Player does from time to time, and Mozilla asks me if I want to allow it to work?

All versions of the Flash plugin have been disabled by Mozilla because of a disclosed security hole that Adobe has to fix.

Please, do not comment in bug reports

  • Should I remove Adobe Flash Player?

    Read here and here the responses on this forum, I was wondering if the Adobe Flash Player, I chose to install

    is necessary for a MacBook Air Yosemite 10.10.5 using Safari Version 9.1.1 (10601.6.17) at all?  What I read was

    that flash player is prone to be tampered with.  With one: "if it isn't broken don't fix it" voices in my head, I was just wondering if I should leave well enough alone or remove flash player.

    Some websites use Flash, for example for video. But he can do no wrong to switch off and see for yourself if you miss our things on.

  • Why a vulnerability with Adobe Flash Player?

    I understand that there was a problem with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player and thought that Adobe had made a patch with the latest 0296. When I've updated, however, status of Mozilla plugin tells me that there is a vulnerability. Someone else has had this problem and if so, how do solve you this problem?

    According to the revision of the https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsa15-02.html made today.

    UPDATE (February 4): users who have enabled auto-update to the desktop Flash Player runtime will receive version 16.0.0. 305 from February 4. This version includes a fix for CVE-2015-0313. Adobe expects to have an update is available for manual download on February 5, and we work with our distribution partners to make the update available in Google Chrome and Internet Explore 10 and 11. For more information about the update of Flash Player, please refer to this post.

  • Pop-up ads continue despite all the information here regarding remove them.  I think they were watching when I downloaded an update for Adobe Flash Player.  All of the suggestions!

    I use OS x El Capitan 10.11.2 on my 3.2 GHz, 8 GB Mac.  I keep getting the pop - ads that those scam ads reply and get their malicious software solution.  I also get the help line 'Apple' where someone's endearing supposedly walk me if they can help.  I tried all of the solutions in the Apple support groups, but nothing has worked... remove extensions (don't have), in order to put the files listed in 'Go to Folder' (none came, so I couldn't remove them).  Any ideas?  It seems that it got worse after I received a notice to update my Adobe Flash Player... maybe a false update.

    1. the present proceedings is a diagnostic test. It doesn't change anything for the better or worse and therefore, by itself, will not solve the problem. But with the help of the results of the tests, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.

    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions. I do not recommend running it on older versions of Mac OS X. It will do no harm, but it will not do not much good.

    Do not be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You make the tasks more complicated with the computer all the time.

    2. If you do not already have a current backup, please back up all the data before doing anything else. The backup is needed on the general principle, not because of what anyone in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you encounter any kind of problems with the computer, you can be more than the usual loss of data, if you follow these instructions or risk not.

    There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

    3 here is instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it doesn't change anything. It does not send or receive data over the network. There is no to generate a report on the State of the computer human readable. This report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents for me or someone else.

    You should ask yourself if you can believe me, and if it is safe to run a program at the request of a foreign national. In general, no, he's not sure, and I encourage it.

    In this case, however, there are ways for you to decide if the program is safe without having to trust me. First of all, you can read it. Unlike an application that download you and click to start, it is transparent, so any person with the required competence can check what it does.

    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this site of thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. One of the million registered users to have read the script and set off the alarm if it was dangerous. Then I wouldn't be here now, and you would not be reading this message. See, e.g., this discussion.

    Another indication that the test is safe in this threadand this onecan be found, for example, where the comment in which I suggested it was recommended by one of the specialists of the communityApple, as explained here.

    However, if you cannot satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, do not follow them. Ask other solutions.

    4. here is a general summary of what you need to do, if you decide to go forward:

    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.

    ☞ Paste into the window to another application.

    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

    ☞ Stick the results, which will be copied automatically, in a response on this page.

    These are not specific instructions; just a glimpse. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait and paste it again. You don't need to copy a second time.

    5. try to test in conditions that replicate the problem, to the extent possible. For example, if the computer is slow intermittently, run the test during a downturn.

    You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works pretty well in normal mode to test run, restart as usual before running it. If you can test only in safe mode, this.

    6. If you have more than one user and a user is affected by the problem, and the user is not an administrator, and then run the test twice: once under the affected user and one administrator. The results can be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer, when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you are unable to log in as an administrator, verify that the user concerned. More personal Mac have only one user, and in this case this section does not apply. Don't log in as root.

    7 load the linked web page (the site "Pastebin.") The title of the page is 'Diagnostic Test'. Under the title is a text box, headed by three small icons. The right one represents a Clipboard. Click on this icon to select the text, then copy to the Clipboard of your computer by pressing Control-C key combination.

    If the text is not highlighted when you click the icon, select it in triple - click anywhere inside the box. Do not select the whole page, just the text in the box.

    8. start the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing Command + V, then press return. The text that you pasted should disappear immediately.

    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal as "Syntax error" or "Event not found", enter

    exec bash

    and press return. Then paste the script again.

    10. If you logged in as an administrator, you will be prompted for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. You won't see the usual points instead of the characters typed. Make sure that caps lock is turned off. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you make three unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, the test is still running, but it will produce less information. If you do not know the password, or if you prefer not to enter, just press back three times at the password prompt. Yet once again, the script will run.

    If the test takes much longer that usual to run because the computer is very slow, you can be prompted for your password a second time. The permission you grant by entering it will expire automatically after five minutes.

    If you are not logged as an administrator, you will be prompted for a password. The test will run. It just will not do anything that requires administrator privileges.

    11. the test may take a few minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that is abnormally slow may take more time to run the test. During execution, a series of lines is displayed in the Terminal window like this:

        Test started
            Part 1 of 4 done at: … sec        …        Part 4 of 4 done at: … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.

    The intervals between the parties will not be exactly the same, but they give an approximate indication of progress.

    Wait for the final message "Please close this window" appears. If you don't see it in about 15 minutes, the test probably won't be all within a reasonable time. In this case, press the Ctrl + C key combination or the point command to stop it. Then go to the next step. You will have incomplete results, but still something. If you close the window of the Terminal, while the test is still running, the partial results will not be saved and you have to start over.

    12. when the test is finished, or if you have stopped it because it was taking too long, leaving the Terminal. The results have been saved to the Clipboard automatically. They do not appear in the Terminal window. Please do not copy from there. All you have to do is start a response to this comment and then paste it again by pressing Command-V.

    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words «Start time.» If you do not see that, but rather to see a mass of gibberish, you wait for the message "close this window". Please wait and try again.

    If personal information, such as your name or e-mail address, appear in the results, make anonymous before posting. Usually it will be not necessary.

    13. in the validation of the results, you see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the software which manages this website. Thanks for posting the results of the tests on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

    If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

    14. This is a public forum and others can give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but what're told you to do maybe not. For others who choose to run it, I do not recommend that you view the results of test on this Web site unless I ask.

  • Flash player 12.0.0.77 crash on every 2 minutes

    Flash player 12.0.0.77 keeps crashing on every browser I have (Opera, Chrome, Firefox) every 2 minutes when you watch video or something flash base loading. It got worse because it crashes almost instantly and I tried to reinstall a couple of times. The registry is even allowed to make a cool macromedia folder but the same problem occurs. I'm really dependent on flash player because most of my tests online use it. I have Windows 7 64 bit and it used to work fine until the last update. Thanks for all the solutions in advance.

    Well, 'Green screen' is another symptom and it is a problem of seprate, but it can have an impact on this.

    Green screen is caused by outdated or damaged video, drivers. And Yes, even if they are up to date, they are damaged.

    It is best to re - update from the manufacturer to "fix." See: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765 for more information.

    Once they are updated / fixed, after back with the results.

  • Keep being told you need to install Adobe Flash Player, by Facebook, install every day, I am running Windows 7, 64-bit, how can I avoid this?

    Running Windows 7, 64-bit, using IE 9, Facebook games keep telling me every morning I do it to install Adobe Flash Player, and all goes well, that day, then the next day, get the same message, is there a permanent fix for this somewhere?

    It could be related to ActiveX filtering, too. Adobe Flash seems to work on IE only with ActiveX filtering disabled (I also have these messages, they never appear on Chrome or other browsers who do not share this security feature).

  • I don't have an administrator password to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.77

    I want to keep FireFox as my browser at work. However, the administration won't allow Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.77 to upgrade the license to run the installation program. Why FireFox is unable to include only the new updates of the Flash Player?

    Why the admin will not allow Flash needs to be installed? Updating not Flash their machine is more likely to attack.

  • Adobe Flash Player stop asking to install.

    I use windows 7 and Mozilla firefox, but this problem occurs even when I do not have a browser window open.

    Adobe flash player quit asking to install. probably once a minute, I get a request (UAC) to allow adobe flash player to install. Even with no browser windows open. EVEN WHILE I'M WATCHING FLASH VIDEOS, he tells me to install it. He literally interupts everything I do, even when I'm not browsing the internet.

    I currently completely uninstalled it AFAIK. I used uninstaller from adobe available on this site. So there is no flash player or shockwave player installed on my computer... continues to receive this request every minute or so.

    This is ridiculous.

    I tried to run a virus scan, because it's the only thing that I could possibly think would this irritating, and it says that my computer is clean.

    Is there some secret files somewhere that I have to delete? I think to delete the activex installation files. I get "entry in the service of installation ActiveX (AxInstSV) the report being run." in my event viewer, that seem to coincide with this problem.

    I finally got it fixed but I'm not sure what fixed it.

    Here's what I did:

    Uninstalled all browsers.

    Uninstalled all things Adobe.

    Uninstalled Java

    Delete whatever it be left behind (I left stuff browser well because I wanted to save my password and other).

    disabled activexsvinst or something of service. The activex Installer service.

    Used CC cleaner clean registry

    Made sure to delete almost everything in user/local/temp and other records (where java and adobe store stuff usually.) I don't know maybe want to be careful to make this cause, I don't know if there is any important files. Also some records will not let you delete it but it just means that you must go to the folder and select then delete. The only file that must be in one of the records in thosetemp is like fxsapidebug or something, in my opinion).

    restarted

    run CC cleaner.

    restarted

    not sure if that helped, but I also used HIJACKTHIS and uninstalled some aides of browser that was not deleted. In particular, there was an adobe one I think. Can't really remember tho. Now that I look at hijackthis it again, he couldn't was this because the browsers help stuff is still there.

    I also ran about 500000000 virus scans with several scanning programs and none of them does not detect it.

    I reinstalled Mozilla and flash and have not had any problems since.

    Hope this helps someone else with the same problem.

  • How can I configure Adobe Flash Player as default program to open SWF files?

    Overview of basic

    I have this work very well to my laptop at home, but I need this working for school projects.

    Whenever I want to open a SWF file at home, I just double click it and open it in Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22) and I have no problem!

    However, when I'm at school I have to run in Internet Explorer, the file SWF, Adobe Flash Player IS installed, but the SWF files are opened directly, they are opened in Internet Explorer.

    At home

    If I right click on a SWF file at home and select 'Open with', and then "choose default program...". ", Adobe Flash Player is already there under the name" Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22 ", so I can select the default value. (On my laptop at home)

    At the school

    In school, so go to "Open with", then "choose default program... ", Adobe Flash Player IS NOT there, only Internet Explorer and other programs in the box of other programs. (On my laptop to school)

    Question

    How can I assign Adobe Flash Player as default program to open SWF files (on my laptop to school)? If I select "Browse...". "and go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash there is no file with a description of" Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22 ", is the file for the program located somewhere else, or I'm just not properly looked into the record?

    I really need these files open in Adobe Flash Player directly and not in Internet Explorer (I know that you can set the view to 100% and do it properly sized)

    Thanks to all who help!
    -Charlie! (Yes I know, that I need not write this in a forum)

    The standard Flash Player is a browser add-on and not a standalone player.  So what in fact opens when you open a SWF file at home?  Flash Player projector?

    If so, you must also download in your school, to http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, then make the file association.

  • Problem installing Adobe Flash Player on my computer

    Last week I installed Webroot Antivirus and Spy Sweeper on my computer and since then I can not load my pictures on Facebook or send them to CVS or Walgreens to develop their. I tried several times to load Adobe Flash Player, followed all the instructions and nothing.  I'm totally frustrated. I waited more than an hour on the phone to a technician from Adobe, and all he could do was direct me to this forum. I have a Dell computer, 32 System. I usually use Windows Explorer as my browser. There, someone can help me please?

    Baetica:

    I'm glad that you were able to solve the problems you have had and had Flash works correctly. I got far too much irrelevant information and could keep my more clear and concise instructions. It is easy for PC technicians lose from the point of view of the learning curve when it comes to people like yourself who just want to turn on the computer and make it work.

    Adobe is a big company that puts great software (despite what says Steve Jobs). I have read through the final replies and hope that some of what I proposed. I know, it can be frustrating sometimes when applications do not work as they should, but the problem is not always obvious (i.e. the default Adobe). Sometimes it's an apparently independent Windows OS (XP, VISTA, 7) update (XP Service Pack updated automatically to one of my clients and not one member of 15-person staff, including doctors not being not able to access the records of patients, could get on the software of medical practice. The bottom line what everyone hates on Microsoft Windows (the seemingly random questions, buggy) is what everyone loves about MS Windows (with so many options for software and hardware, there is necessarily be conflicts and errors.)

    Once again, glad to hear you solved your problem.

  • Installation of Adobe Flash Player without Adobe DLM or plu GetAdobe

    Hi, my friends:

    I am so worried about the installation of Adobe Flash Player .  And it's because I'm not able to install Abobe Flash Player, without installing Adobe DLMand Get Adobe more.

    So my question is very easy...

    When you try to install Abobe Flash player, you have the option to choose, or not, choose, install other aplicactions like the McCaffee toolbar (in Mozilla, Opera, Safari, Netscape, Chrome, version) or Google toolbar (in the version of Internet Explorer).  Your system perfectly to choose this option. But...

    • Why is impossible to install Abobe Flash Player alone, without bearing the same full as we chosse to install or not install the add-ins or tool bars mentioned above?
    • If I have any other choice that install Adobe flash player, with all the complements of Abobe: why is so difficult to uninstall all this add-in (Adobe DLM and get Adobe more) later?

    So I have kind of possible solutions.

    1. How to install Adobe Flash player, without supplements is not necessary (sorry, but it's true)
    2. How to uninstall the add-in, once you have completely installed your Adobe flash player before.

    I hope that you had to understand me, and you could help me to get the solution to this problem.

    Excuse my terrible English.

    And thank you very much for your answer.

    Hi HZ, thanks for the info. OK, I have XP/SP3 & IE6 too, so I am very familiar with your system.

    Go to start, control panel and double-click on Add/Remove. Find DLM(download manager) and getPlus. Click on DLM and remove it. When he went (you won't see more) then remove getPlus also.

    Then Reboot (restart your computer)

    By using the Internet Explorer browser, go to tools, click on Manage Add ons and look in "currently" and "have been used" and see

    If there is no DLM or getPlus Add ons.

    Then let me know.

    Thank you
