I have tried to uninstall flash from my pc and nothing is working. 
I have tried unsing the Flash uninstaller, It tells me the uninstaltion is done and i need to restart my pc. I restart my pc and check  C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash  Where all four Flash files stills exists, I try removing them but i get a Error message saying i Need premission from Trueinstaller to make a change to that file. 

I looked up the forums who tells me I need to update my Pc with the windosw update to fix this so i go to windows  update and update my  pc and restarting in and the files are still there and i still cant remove them. So as instructed i go to windows support, Windows support tells me They cant fix it as its a Adobe Program and i need to go to Adobe's support i go to adobes support and Adobe support tells me That there is no longer a support for Flash and that i need to go to adobe forums, 

So here i am help me i cant get this Malware of a Program of my pc. 
This is my last bet if this dose not work i cannot uninstall it from my pc and i am dead in the water

    Adobe's uninstaller does not remove any browser-embedded Flash Player files.

    The files that you see are for the IE/Edge embedded version of Flash Player, managed by Microsoft, not Adobe.

     

    For the IE/Edge browser-embedded Flash Player, Microsoft has released an update, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4577586/update-for-removal-of-adobe-flash-player, to remove the IE/Edge embedded Flash Player ActiveX Control.  If you encounter issues running this update, please contact Microsoft for assistance.
