I purchased  a iMac SSD desktop December 2020 and discovered it had Adobe Flash FPVideo software installed when I clicked on FPVideo switch on the LaunchPad and got a warning that it was a dangerous application and should be deleted.  The Adobe Uninstaller didn't quite get it all out nor did trying to delete the applications from the files.  Near as I can tell, it's all been deleted except a Non-functional gray switch labeled "Video" on the LaunchPad.  Apple was NO HELP!  Re-installing OS Big Sur 11.1 did nothing to get rid of the usless gray switch.  Help?  If anyone has an idea to rid the LaunchPad of the "Video" switch, I would greatly appreciate it!  Sincerely,  T Cobble

FPVideo is nothing to do with Flash at all. Nor Adobe. It is malware, which arrives on your computer by disguising itself as a Flash update, which tricked you (or a previous owner). So, no Adobe uninstaller is going to touch it. You need a good malware cleaner (but DON'T search with Google, most "malware cleaners" are actually more malware!)
