Uninstalling Adobe Flash from my laptop

I'm a totally computer retard....How do I fully uninstall Adobe Flash Player from my laptop?

Every since my friend tried to put it on my computer, it didn't install properly and now

I'm getting all sorts of warnings in my Systems Log Queries? :-/

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Cheers,

Thanks Kappy,


I'm pretty sure I correctly unistalled Adobe Flash Player from my computer.

Sadly I'm still getting, warning messages. Do you have any suggestion on what I should do about these messages, as in, should I take my laptop to the Apple store and have them look at it?


Cheers,

No, I would ask tech support at Adobe since it's their product. But I might hazard a guess you have a problem with your system, so before you run off to the Apple store and pay for service that you give this a try.


First, be sure Flash has been uninstalled. Second:


Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive


Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.


Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.


When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.


Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.


Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
