Hook dll problem adobe player

[Admiral]

Hey guys,
So everytime I play videos which involve adobe flash player, I always get this message, really irritating -

Sometimes it causes the video to shut down and say "an error has occurred". Other times it freezes my browser. It's really frustrating because I have to click on it and sometimes it stuffs up my browsing. Had it for a while now. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling Flash Player.

 

[Admiral]

Yes sir, tried that with no luck. I've uninstalled with Your Uninstaller then reinstalled

Just to be on the safe side, scan pc with malwarebytes you can download from here Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware removes malware including viruses, spyware, worms and trojans, plus it protects your computer Use the free version, install and update and do a full scan, if you haven't already done so.
By the way, how long has this been happening for and could you please fill out your system specs.

Been using Malwarebytes for over three years man - ive done 3 full scans last month - nothing. Also scanned with Spybot Search & Destroy and Kaspersky Internet Security 2013. Nothing else seems out of the ordinary - this may have popped up when I deleted a very miniscule virus with Malwarebytes a couple months back.
Here are my system stats -

Have you tried using system file checker.

Just tried the command "sfc /verifyonly" and it said it couldn't find any "integrity violations"

Are you sure that this error is from the adobe flash player?

What is the add-on that is shown in the upper right corner of the video window? The thing that says "Download this video".

Process Monitor does not show flash calling hook.dll - in fact, there is no hook.dll in my virtual machine after installing IE flash 11,5,502,135 and Internet Download Manager v6.14.

What browser are you using?

What browser are you using?

Mozilla Firefox man

Still no hook.dll

I guess you will have to use something like process monitor to find out what is calling hook.dll.

Can you locate the file named HOOK.DLL on your computer? If so, what is the complete path to it?

What is the exact error? If you look in task manager, processes tab, is there a hook.dll listed? If so, right click it and choose Properties and see what the path is. A Guy

Hey man, I have the exact same symptoms as this -
"For a few weeks now, if not months, whenever I start up my Firefox and move my mouse courser over a Flash application (namely YouTube videos), it gives me a pop-up prompt with the text. This only happens once after opening Firefox, after that everything is fine. Even closing and reopening the browser doesn't give me that error again.

The annoying part of this thing is, that sometimes the window does not appear, but still locks up the entire browser. In these cases I need to terminate the process.

What is the cause of this problem and how do I get rid of it? I tried reinstalling Flash Player already, but that didn't work."

There is no hook dll in my task manager man, nup

A screenshot of the exact error would make it easier to track down. There could be many variations of hook.dll error.

There you go man, sorry

From reading, it appears many programmers might lazily use the name hook.dll. I would suggest disabling add ons one at a time to see if you can find an offending one.

Disable or remove Add-ons | Firefox Help

You can try in Safe Mode, but this disables all add ons, and no doubt flash videos will not work. There are some troubleshooting tips below as well

Have you tried with other browsers to confirm it only happens with FF?
