You will need to uninstall and reinstall adobe flash using the Adobe Flash uninstaller as there may be flash parts still installed

Just click the run tab on the Adobe flash uninstaller

Now reinstall Adobe Flash

UPDATE: That procedure usually works. See if this will help you

This Microsoft procedure may help you

Download the Windows installer cleanup utility

When downloaded
Start
Programs
Search
Windows install cleanup
Highlight all adobe flash
Click remove

Just click on the run tab

Reinstall the software
