My macbook pro says Shockwave Flash plug-in has crashed pretty much every day. I have to shut the computer down and restart to fix it. Is there any way I can keep this from happening?
MacBook Pro
Download the latest version from here ONLY:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
also, make certain your Mac OS X software is completely up-to-date. There is a Trojan Horse that pretended to be a Flash update, and installed Flash with malware included. The latest security updates removes the malware and all older versions.
Grant,
I use Google Chrome and when I try to download that version from the website you gave me, it says:
Your Google Chrome browser already includes Adobe® Flash® Player built-in. Google Chrome will automatically update when new versions of Flash Player are available.
Those suffering the worst crashes seem to be those running Flash inside chrome.
I suggest you try a different Browser for a while, until google, Apple, Adobe, and Intel get a handle on this.
I heartily recommend a Flash Blocker as well. Click-to-Flash is what I used to use in Safari, but there are others for other browsers as well. Many site will substitute another format, such as H.264, if Flash is blocked.
