Hi, everyone. I recently isolated a problem which was that my computer began to run slowly after I restored it to factory condition. I managed to isolate the problem to the Mozilla Firefox browser; apparently when I disabled the plug-ins which consisted of most notably the Adobe Shockwave Flash plug-in, my system began to run smoothly again and fast. When I went ahead and re-enabled the plug-in due to the fact I couldn't watch videos online with Flash disabled, I noticed that as soon as I entered and watched a video online, the system would spontaneously would run slowly; CPU usage would shoot to 100%. Could this be a possible memory leak in the Adobe Flash plug-in? If not, what could the problem be? How can I fix this problem? Thanks!

Are you using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player? Some previous versions had problems like that.. Try to watch video with other web browsers(with adobe flash player installed) and see what happens."Everything we do is dictated by motive."

Yea, I'm using the latest version, and this problem happens on other browsers such as IE.

Hi, I suspect it is certain value of previous Adobe Flash remaining in registry. To test this, I suggest create a new account. If the issue disappear in the new account, we can say it is the registry. To find out the registry. We need to run a powerful tool Process Explorer and compare it with a working machine.
