Adobe® Flash® Player is a lightweight browser plug-in and rich Internet application runtime that delivers consistent and engaging user experiences, stunning audio/video playback, and exciting gameplay. I have the latest Safari version as well as the latest version of Adobe Flash player running on Mac OSX v. I use a program called BashFlash to kill Adobe Flash player whenever it starts to tak.

If Flash Player is installed on your computer, the following box displays the version of Flash Player and your operating system. If Flash Player is not installed, an error message appears.

You are having problems running video, audio, or games that use Flash Player.
