FlashPlayerPlugin is a program that may have been installed on your computer when you purchased it or may have been installed by you as an add-on with browsers such as Firefox or Google Chrome. The exact disk location where FlashPlayerPlugin.exe should be stored on your computer is also shown below to verfiy it is not spyware, as many spyware programs use similiar names and just locate them elsewhere on your hard drive. This file is Adobe Flash Player and note that it may have many numbers after it based on the version, for example it may show FlashPlayerPlugin_18_0_0_209.exe. Always check the proper disk location of your programs if you are concerned that they may be spyware or malware. This FlashPlayerPlugin software program is from Adobe software. Note that it may be under other similiar names that begin with FlashPlayerPlugin as there can be new versions. This will run anytime you are on websites that require this use, but you should see it disappear out of your processes once you close your browser. If not then you can terminate this without any problem. This file is not required at startup, but it is considered safe and is not virus, spyware or adware related software.

General information:
Be aware that many tasks will be similiar names to existing tasks or processes. You can always view the running tasks on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view the windows "task manager", and then view the "processes" tab. This will show you all tasks running or currently active on your PC. Although this shows you all running tasks, it does not show dll file thats are loaded, as they get loaded as part of other processes. Many spyware writers attempt to hide their files on your computer, for example, flashplayerplugin.exe may be intentionally misspelled to look like a similiar task, or spyware may be named very similiar to a Windows system task. The reason they do this is so you cannot easily recognize the name in your tasklist as I have mentioned above. Make sure always check the location of the file if you are concerned. You can always find the location of flashplayerplugin.exe on your computer by using your Windows search options, but I will also try to list the file location of every file described on this website, so you can verify the correct location.
