Veoh Window links freezing Browsers?

[Keebbles]

Since yesterday (well thursday night for me) Veoh Links and the DYI add have all frozen my browser up. Be it Mozilla FF or IE8 both which have basic add-ons that are all up to date.
This seems to coincide with the release of Adobe X too that uploaded and patched Thursday. No other link fails to load page properly except VEOH links or default pages.
I spent five hours yesterday rolling back updates, removing apps, and so forth from both browsers and only thing that's not browser related that was updated was Adobe Reader X.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0E)
V 3.6.13

IE8 XP SP3 V8.0.6001.18702IC

Both lock up, CPU rates from 50-100% Load with Veoh page selected when it comes up for selection as first on list and thus opens window automatically when in the "watching" selection. Not just when it's in link of available video streams. It's when it pops up first, or VEOH is selected for source of stream that this is occurring.
Requires you as user to force a "Not Responding" "End Task" forced by user action.
Also the "DYI" adds are flagging my system on other pages when it pops up as "Corrupted" but won't specify malware, spyware, or adware of a nasty variety it just locks up the pop up window from loading fully and thus locks browser and has twice cause Zonelabs Firewall to shut off internet access--

Laptop is clean checked five ways over with best software out there and again w/next day's updates.
And yes I still have room on my HDD for streaming.
I can watch other sites if they work and navigate internet freely. It's the VEOH and that one add so far that have caused problems.
It may be that newer updates haven't been applied to that host yet, or another problem exists.

also ran registry fix to no avail.

It seems to be a flash issue that starts w/Adobe's latest update and can't be fixed at this time. It affects mostly jwplayer videos all over, not just here. It happened two years ago and before too. And Adobe, nor Flash Player makers admitted to the mistake error. Then it got quietly patched later.
It also affects certain Java players and quicktime users w/conflicts. I chased all this info down via google-fu and checking my FF error logs against previous problems of similar nature.
Solution--right now vs full reinstalls w/older flash and adobe players (if that's possible at all) don't do the adobe flash update until a fix is out and migrates to all the various video players out there first.
And be sure if locked up and forced to end program that you do send in the crash report automatically (select that up in tools/help area, I believe, of your browser's options.)

If you all have a different solution or fix, let me know. It just means that I'll be stuck away from some players that work on certain host sites. And others that don't.

I've confirmed a major error w/Veoh by using Flash Blocker. Browser works on any page with that Flash player open -but blocked until I click the ALLOW button (lil circled F for flash.)

This change by adobe is also affecting many many facebook apps too. There's a storm a-brewing. Especially if this propagates like the last time. It forced many add users to BUY new software from those causing errors to end suffering by end user/recipients of served adds last time.
And a very popular add/video server jwplayer was almost killed off too. It's affecting that one first and foremost again.
It's not a matter of re-installs, updates, and new-codecs like their techs (if they admit to a problem at all,) being upgraded. It's that all the fixes were never premade in first place, it seems. Adobe just made an upgrade universally to flash players w/o consulting customers and end users at all. Kinda like Microsoft making a new OS every 3-4 years and killing off one that's finally working to increase revenue, vs actually ever fully fixing their prior release.
There are other problems I haven't tracked down, but this one might be a killer (again adobe reader x and it's associated upgrades for Windows XP, Vista and 7 are all affecting many video players and flash-adds causing browser crashes on all of the above OS's (tested here by me.)
But if you can find and suggest a different angle or cause, I'll listen and test it.

no one here verified problem yet?
Facebook games, for most part are`all broken for those that auto-updated flash/adobe reader X recently.
3 different browsers break w/ VEOH here on AC right now on two different OS's (xp/vista)
It's the sandbag safety feature plus bad coding causing infinity loop calls to flash drivers...much fun.

i used to have the problem with my old PC and on my new laptop with my previous version veoh player.

confirmed that VEOH still works w/Flash 8 and 9, but the new 10X kills it due to the new safety "sandbag" feature.
