FlashPlayer Causes my System to Become ULTRA Sluggish - Nearly 100% CPU Use

.

My System has:

.     FlashPlayer 15 ActiveX 15.0.0.239 & FP 16 NPAPI 16.00.0235

.     Windows 7 Professional - 64-bit

.     I use Internet Explorer & FireFox.

.     See more system info at end of the is text.

.

.

This if VERY ANNOYING -

.         VERY BOTHERSOME ! ! !

.

Problem/Question:

.

I FREQUENTLY have to END 1 (or sometimes 2) Flash Player processes

.                        after experiencing EXTREME SLUGGISHNESS of my system.

CPU In-Use is at or very near 100% - constantly.

.

The system is  - for all practical purposes  - UnResponsive - NOT Usable.

.

When I first had this problem, I always just ReBooted.

,         That always "solved" the problem - for a while - it ALWAYS come back.

.

Then - using TaskManager - I identified the processes with Hi-CPU-Use.

.         Always the FP  process was one of the culprits.

.

Ending one (or more) FP processes

.          produced DRAMATIC results -

.         CPU use would DROP to less than 10% -

.          usually varying a little about 5%.

I did NOT need to ReBoot!

.

The PROBLEM continues - still VERY frequently - at least daily.

.

Recently the same PROBLEM has more usually been evidenced while there is

.             Fairly LOW CPU use by FP  processes -

.             & more-or-less normal CPU use by all other processes -

.            BUT  -

.             ENDING the FP process still produces the same

.             DRAMATIC POSITIVE results.

.

Also - sometimes ending ONE FP process only ends just the ONE FPprocess.

.        Sometimes one click on "end process" or "end process tree"

.                           ends two FP processes with one click. ( ?? why ?? )

.

As soon as some URL requires my browser to use FP -

.    the problem comes back - not always immediately - but -

.          SOON - always.  { both Internet Explorer & FireFox seem to exhibit the High CPU use problem }

.

Right now - there are TWO  -   FlashPlayerPlugin_1`6_0_0_232.exe *32  -  processes shown by TaskManager

.                 Both show 00% CPU use.

.                 Total CPU use it 4% to 23%

.      No system use Problem right now - (3--Dec-'14 at 3:50pm)

.

This if VERY ANNOYING -

.         VERY BOTHERSOME ! ! !

.

Any suggestions ??? <<===
