Flash player changes my settings every time computer is restarted or booted up after shutdown.

Latest version of Flash Player (NPAPI & PPAPI Plug-in version 26.0.0.151) spontaneously changes settings back to ‘defaults’ every time I boot up computer.

I use the options “Ask me before allowing new sites to save information on this computer” under Storage. I use “Block all sites from using the camera and microphone” under Camera and Mic. I use “Block all sites from using peer-assisted networking” under Playback. I use “Notify me to install updates” under Updates.

Each time I boot/reboot my computer, these settings are somehow changed back to ‘default’ settings, which I don’t want, meaning I have to go into the Flash Player Preferences panel on my Mac and change the settings back to the way I want them. Every time.

This wasn’t a problem until this latest Flash Player update. I’m using macOS Sierra Version 10.12.6. I’m starting to think the Flash Player has some kind of malware embedded that’s changing these settings against my preferences.

Any suggestions? I’m seriously thinking of taking Flash Player off my system entirely.
