Windows 7 Flash Player Plugin is not seen by Explorer, Chrome or Firefox !!!

[mzbeg]

Hi all. Last night I existed Firefox 11 after watching a video clip runing Adobe Flash Player and shut down my computer. This morning I started my computer as usual and wanted to watch some clips run by flash player in Firefox and I get the notification to install Flash Player. I did but still I get the same notification. I tried Chrome and Explorer 9 I get the same message. The Chrome comes with Flash Player preinstalled.

Is it a virus or what. How to rectify the situation. Thanks for your help.

It seems like the issue you are facing with Flash Player might not be related to a virus. Instead, it could be due to an outdated or malfunctioning Flash Player plugin in your browsers. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and rectify the situation:

Steps to Fix Flash Player Issues:​

1. Uninstall Flash Player:
   • Start by uninstalling the current Flash Player version on your system. You can use the official Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller tool for this.
   []Reinstall Flash Player:
   • After removing Flash Player, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player from the official Adobe website.
   []Clear Browser Cache:
   • Clear the cache and browsing data in your web browsers to ensure that any stored data related to Flash Player is removed.
   []Enable Flash Player in Browsers:
   • Ensure that Flash Player is enabled in your browsers. Sometimes, browser settings may prevent Flash from running.
   []Check Browser Plugins:
   • Verify that the Flash Player plugin is enabled in your browsers' plugin settings.
   []Browser Updates:
   • Make sure your browsers are up to date. Outdated browsers or browser versions may have compatibility issues with Flash Player.
   []Security Software Check:
   • Confirm that your antivirus or security software is not blocking Flash Player. Sometimes, security software can interfere with plugins.
2. Restart Your Computer:
   • Restart your computer after performing the above steps to ensure all changes take effect.

     Additional Tips:​

     • If you continue to face issues, you might consider switching to HTML5-based video players where available, as Flash Player is being phased out by most browsers.
     • Keep your operating system, browsers, and plugins up to date to ensure compatibility with the latest technologies.
