What to do when Adobe Flash isn't fully "Uninstalling"

more options

I am using Firefox 35.0.1 and I recently refreshed for the 3rd time to get my Plug-Ins to work.

Still can't Adobe Flash Player to Work. So I took the advice of the-edmeister on page

Flash Update Loop Although It Is UPDATED (with FF 35.0 never any problems!) https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1044203

So I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player

Read over the page, Used the Uninstaller as seen in first picture attached Next I checked the folders as directed to make sure they are fully Deleted.

Yet You notice in the first picture Files are still left in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed

I have Win 8.1 and I found That there are other files than ones listed.

How do I do a clean install of Flash Player? | Adobe Community https://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315

these files will not Delete and created My issue.

I have to load the Program *****Unlocker***I guess to allow me to delete them. They will Not delete also in Administration side of Windows.

""Warning"" do not use Unlocker it WILL NOT download in Firefox

So I downloaded different Browser and scanned it using Virustotal Website and it has Malware why firefox blocked it for a reason!

LockHunter is a free 64/32 bit tool to delete files blocked by any processes http://lockhunter.com/

I scanned it using Virustotal and ok.


I will be back in a bit after I do this all.

After I Scanned the program "Lockhunter" for virus/malware on the website Virustotal

I went to install Lockhunter and Bam! Blocked by my Comodo firewall. So I scanned it with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Zero Hits, I scanned it with Comodo Cleaning Essentials Zero Hits on it.

So then I had to Exit Comodo while I loaded Lockhunter, then loaded Comodo back up


I went to use LockHunter and could not Delete the files. Yes I was in Administrative side of Windows and not logged in as User.  So I installed "FileAssassin" No luck either. So I loaded a old Program Called "TakeOwnership"  and THEN I was able to DELETE the Macromed  folder and files in it. 

Now I will Load Adobe Flash Player.
