The Adobe Flash Player is software for viewing animations and movies using computer programs such as a web browser; in common usage, Flash lets you put animation and movies on a web site. Flash player is a widely distributed proprietary multimedia and application player created by Macromedia and now developed and distributed by Adobe after its acquisition. Flash Player runs SWF files that can be created by the Adobe Flash authoring tool, by Adobe Flex or by a number of other Macromedia and third party tools.

The uninstaller didn't work here, even after uninstalling Chrome AND running the uninstaller you liked to.

After re-installing Chrome, flash player was still there.

you can't delete the Flash Player in Chrome, because, when you install the Chrome browser, it comes with it. In other words, it's a part of the Chrome browser. It is in fact a Plugin, and Chrome uses it alot. Chrome uses it's own buid in one. If tere is a problem, Chrome uses the Flash you downloaded on your computer. Ok, you can't get rid of it, but you CAN DISABLE it, if you take a look at your plugins!
A great, very simple to use, almost all-in-one tool/extension is CLICK&CLEAN!!! It's stuffed with really great small tools. You can almost see every thing about your Chrome browser and your computer. For newbees it's great! it even has a security scanner!!! Install it, you won't regret it! That's a promise!!

I used the uninstaller, now Adobe's site keeps telling me Chrome already has it. Jesus christ. Chrome sucks. It still wont display forms, tables, i-frames correctly and it STILL has taht stupid theme bug that removes checkboxes and radio buttons. Why should I have to start Firefox as a fix? I'll just uninstall Chrome, PROBLEM SOLVED and F U

The reason why I wanted to uninstall the player was that the video froze like every 2 seconds. So, I tried to uninstall the player using this uninstaller. The player wasn't uninstalled, but the video freezing went away :)

Please direct me to a place where I can load the installer for flash. The link you provided above does not work as it is broken. I am getting a page with the following comment "URL not found".

I need to use the uninstaller since several times a day the flash stops working. Several times a day, I am getting a message stating that. In addition, all functions that require flash stop working.

Thank you
