Google Chrome: Has it's own verion of flash player built in. IE uses a differnet version of flash player. If you've got other browsers like Firefox installed they use yet another version of flash player.

Suggest:

Check that all old versions of Chrome have been removed then reboot:

Run the flash player removal tool and delete everything mentioned then reboot:

   Note

Delete

C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player

After reboot test your browsers. If there's no crash download the required versions of flash player from

Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe

and install one at a time.

I tried removing chrome with the old chrome remover and this is what happened:

The chrome remover tool said I had old software and when I hit 'y' to delete. It said installer denied!

Sorry but I've not been getting any email notifications for this thread and only just noticed your question. I meant to suggest that you use the manual removal method for old versions of Chrome rather than the "Old Chrome Remover" software. Sorry that it wasn't clear. That software hasn't been updated - there is an altenative "System Ninja" but I wouldn't recommend it. I do use it myself sometimes but it really does require inspecting every file that it wants to remove and adding many entries to an exclusion list.

If you just want to check how many versions of flash player and chrome you've got lurking around on your hard drive you could run a scan with the software mentioned in this post.
I've sent you a PM with the direct download link.

Note: For old chrome versions click the "+" sign to expand the entry and get the file location for the old versions then manually delete them. Do not delete the current version of chrome.


TrashZone will be able to help with your other questions but just run a scan and fix any Chrome or Flash Player problems found. If there are any other problems with outdated software - ignore them and post details.

Personally I need a better look at this windows url address the symbol in the red square box looks like Active x filtering,

How many browsers do you have open at one time?

How many tabs on each browser do you have open at one time before the computer freezes?
