Adobe Flash Player 11.5 r502 causes CPU overload

Every time I start my MacBook Air, the fans go to high speed and Adobe Flash Player causes the CPU to run at 300% until I quit that process. Version is 11.5 r502 which has a date 12/11/2012. Problem is that without Adobe Flash Player none of the videos on CNN will play. Is anyone else having this problem? Any fix? Thanks!
