    Correct answer chris.campbell

    I have the same thing happening. Today my pc became noticeably slow (even logging into windows usually takes about 5 seconds, today it takes almost a min). I have ran virus and malware scans and found nothing. I checked processes to see if there is anything unusual and found nothing except this. And when I re-entered task manager both processes were gone.


    This is expected and normal behavior.  When running Flash Player in Firefox with protected mode enabled, you will see two instances in the task manager.  This, in itself, should not cause any system or browser slowdown or performance issues.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Adobe is a company name, not a software.  What exactly is running twice?

    when i start my task manager it shows the adobe flash player plugin running 2 times..i tried pasting a screen shot of it but clearly it did not work.

    anyways one of the adobe flash player plugin processes uses a lot of memory while the other barely uses any. the highest ive seen is 500,000k.

    i just feel like it should not be running the plug in 2 times

    A screenshot would have been interesting.  Use the camera icon to attach a screenshot to the forum.
