    Is this flash player plugin process an infection?


    Please see attached pic. I never used to see these processes but now I do. I also think they are controlling volume in my browser, for certain sites, and I never needed to do that.

    It looks like this is from a recent update for Flash, adding Sandboxing.
    I just updated Flash to 11.3 and I see the "FlashPlayerPlugin_11_3..." processes.

    Here is a Kaspersky article about this:
