Chrome blocks an outdated flash player plugin and asks you to update

Problem :

Chrome pisses you off by blocking your flash player plugin saying it is outdated and needs to be updated or asks you to "run this time"

Solution:

1. Chrome tries to push you to  update your plugin by doing this.
2. To stop this, type "chrome:plugins" on the address bar of chrome. and hit enter.
3. You will get a list of installed plugins, go to the flash plugin and disable.
4. Try to open the webpage which was trying to run the flash player.
5. You will see that the flash player does not run and there is no prompting message.
6. Go back the plugins list and enable the flash player plugin back again.
7. There you fixed it ! By disabling and re-enabling the plugin it automatically got updated.
8. You can open the webpage and it runs fine now.
