Similar thing happened to me yesterday on youtube on Chrome. I was watching videos for about an hour and then all of a sudden a blue screen appeared with a computer saying "Aw, Snap! It looks like this page crashed.Download and install update to fix this problem". But then when I click to download the update it gives me my virus scan warns me that it appears malicious. I have also deleted cookies and cleared my history, but it did not work. I ran my virus scan and it said my computer is clean. The weird thing is that youtube is working perfectly through internet explorer. I can not figure it out!!

Mine is working fine.



Is this a new thing? Or has it happened since you got it?



I think there is a google chrome beta - try downloading that one.

If videos are flickering, shaking or jumping back-and-forth

from big to small or from top-left to bottom-right, perhaps

something is wrong with your Flash player, particularly if

you've got one of the newer Flashes.



There's no need to have the latest Flash player, because

nothing about watching videos on YouTube has changed

in the last 2 years. (Technically speaking, you could still

use Flash 8 if you wanted to.)



In fact, the more recent Flash players are causing plenty

of grief for lots of YouTubers -- especially the 11 versions

of "Flash 10". It is absolutely nuts that there should be a

10.0.525, 10.0.576, 10.1.218, 10.2.26, 10.2.54, 10.12.10,

10.12.36, 10.15.3, 10.22.87, 10.23.1 and 10.32.18. Most

updates are usually good for only 1 thing:..computer and

software conflicts.



I have never strayed away from 9.47, and many "flashers"

swear by 9.45. Think of those two Flashes like Windows

XP compared to Vista. Please take a look at the Asker's

comment below this previous Best Answer of mine, even

though his YouTube problem was not the same as yours:

Great help! ---- Uninstalled, rebooted and downgraded to 9.0.45....

and everything works as smooth as ever. ---- Thanks a million!



If that looks interesting to you, here's the appropriate link:

Because there was a lot of people in summer asking the

same thing as you, I did some Googling/researching and

reading about "flickering/shaking" videos -- and nearly all

of the discussion threads which I saw mentioned "nVidia"

drivers. Is it possible there's one installed on your comp?

If you are experiencing either: A) slugglish loading

or buffering, B) that "spinning circle" looking like it

could seemingly go on forever, C) "choppy" videos

that start/stop/start/stop frequently, or D) vids that

sometimes come to a complete stop, maybe your

cache/memory is full and thus can't take anymore.



Exit out of YouTube (but not your browser) and do

one of the steps below. Afterwards, shutdown and

reboot. Not only will this "unclog" your computer's

"cache", it will make everything "fresh", and faster:

DON'T FORGET TO SHUT DOWN AND REBOOT

AFTER DOING ONE OF THE ABOVE.



If you have other applications which are running at

the same time (such as "Torrents"), they will slow

down YouTube too.
