Ever since I "got the new Adobe update", all my search engines are slower than ever. My games run flawlessly (thank you for that) but when I try to go on Facebook, nothing loads (pictures and such) and it runs slower than anything on Internet Explorer. I don't mean to blame the update but everything worked great until I updated it yesterday...Help me out?
If Flash isn't installed, it's probably not Flash that's the problem. The only thing we did was write some files to our own little encapsulated area. If the disk was in a bad state, something bad might have happened when the OS wrote those files, but that's all happening below us.
If it was me, I'd start here.
Check your hard disk for errors - Windows 7:

If everything comes back clean, you might run a manual scan of the registry (a backup is always a prudent idea before you mess with the registry):

After that, I'd start looking at a virus scanner and an anti-malware tool. malwarebytes.org is free and well-respected.
It's also possible that something upstream from you is causing your internet connection to be really slow. It sounds like you're familiar enough with this stuff to do some network troubleshooting without guidance.
It's alright, I fixed it!
I just installed Java and uninstalled Adobe!
