Adobe Flash Problems

[mizzoucat]

Ok, so I know flash and macs don't play nice together. However, everything was working fine until I installed the latest flash update today. Now, the safari flash plugin causes my mac mini to heat up really quickly and uses 135% of the cpu! Is anyone else experiencing this?

Ok, so I uninstalled flash and reinstalled it. Everything seems to be running fine now. Any ideas why the initial upgrade used so much of the cpu?

It could have been a faulty installation. To avoid malware, always be sure to upgrade from the Adobe site and not from any prompt that pops up while surfing the web.

For Flash-related issues:

• Find your Flash version and make sure it's the latest version available.
• Install ClickToFlash (Safari), Flashblock (Firefox) or FlashBlock (Chrome) to control which Flash content plays on websites.
• Use the YouTube HTML5 Video Player to watch YouTube videos, when available. (May impact fullscreen viewing. See link for details.)
