how do I remove plugin-container.exe safely and be sure it doesn't return?
plugin-container.exe keeps running in my Windows task manager slowing or sometimes freezing my computer. How do I eliminate this problem? I am running Firefox 4.0.1., which I will have to stay with for now as the update will not accept my Logitech product.

Thank you for the detailed information. I'm confused, however, as to which is the best way to go: leave the plugin-container.exe to keep me from crashing even though it slows ... sometimes freezes ... my computer (especially since I use Adobe Flash; or, disable/remove it and continue with Firefox crashes as I did before the plugin-container.exe was added to Firefox. Such a mind-boggling problem for one who is close to being computer illiterate.
If Flash is causing plugin-container to slow down or crash your computer, you could try blocking Flash content on most web pages with the Flashblock add-on for Firefox.
You should also check whether your Flash plugin is up to date.
