Flash Player 15 running multiple versions of itself?

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium and I updated Flash Player recently to the latest version. However from time to time my computer seems to get itself locked up and freezes. When I open the Task Manager it shows Flash Player 15 running anything from 7-8 versions to as many as 15-20 versions (like it was just before I came here seeking answers or solutions). As I am not a technical person I will describe what happens.

When this happens it always seems to happen when playing YouTube content. Usually it seems okay at first then after maybe watching 3-4 YouTube clips the next clips starts to stutter. Then I will get a message within the YouTube frame that Flash Player has crashed.

I have 4 Gb memory and 131 Gb free Hard Disk space. All my drivers, Windows 7, and Flash Player itself are all fully up to date. I got Panda Antivirus (also up to date), and use latest version of Spybot Search & Destroy (started to use this because I thought it was malware causing issues with Flash Player). I use the latest version of Firefox as well.

Frankly I am at a loss what is going on and what is causing this issue to happen.

If someone can think of any idea of what I can try to get Flash Player to work better or proper, it would be appreciated.
