Flash keep crashing in Chrome even after fresh Windows 7 install

I can't figure out what the problem is. A few months ago flash started acting up -- pages freezing, not loading, etc -- and I would have to go to the Chrome task manager and kill flash, resulting in a bunch of :x on flash portions of the page and a notification that flash crashed. Once this happened, the pages would update and work fine.

I had gotten a nasty virus/piece of malware that auto installed while using Firefox at one point which messed up a bunch of stuff on my computer. Though I had gotten rid of it to the best of my knowledge, I figured it had just fucked too much stuff up and that it was somehow related to the problem.

Fast forward to the other day, I did a fresh install to get rid of whatever crap was on the computer and just start anew. I have very few applications installed, but I'm still having the same problem.

I have Firefox, Chrome, Skype, Java, Canon photo software, Office Libre, PS3 Media Server, Malware Bytes, uTorrent, VLC, and Astrill installed. Other than that, just drivers that I have been using forever and had been using long before the problem started happening a few months ago.

Any ideas? I'm stumped.
 
Flash has been buggy for many people over the last few months, especially on Windows x64. I've been reading countless threads with people having issues with Flash and claiming it is horribly broken. I wouldn't worry about it too much, just disable Flash unless you really need it for something. Completely re-installing everything and bending your computer over backwards to try and bypass the quirks of one buggy program isn't worth it.
 
I have had compatibility problems with Flash and Chrome in for 32 and 64 environments.
