Problem with Flash Player 6 in ad. Probably?

If it happens again, please take note of the procedure you performed immediately prior to the crash and send me a message or post in this thread.
I believe it's due to the local machines.

I just used another PC at school. After a few minutes on FT, a warning message showing something like "a problem with Flash Player 6 and the browser has to be closed." I clicked on it, and the FT browser was gone. I started another FT session and same thing happened again minutes later. I don't have such problem with my home PC (which I have admin priviledge, I don't think it matters though).

The add-on file in question is flash6.ocx.

I think some of the ads require Flash Player to load. If it safe to assume the local machines need another version of Flash Player? Or is it a software problem between FT and Flash Player?
