It is responsible for the vast majority of malware and other malicious stuff. The are trying to get rid of it.

Anyway last guess.

Did you check to see if your flash is updated?

On your computer, open Chrome.
In the address bar at the top, enter chrome://components and press Enter.
Look for "Adobe Flash Player."
Click Check for update.
If you see "Component not updated" or "Component updated," you're on the latest version.
Go back to the page with the Flash content. If it doesn't open automatically, at the top left, click Reload Reload.
