Unless you're on 64-bit where Adobe have dropped support. (You might
find the old binary somewhere, but it has unpatched security holes).

My current setup is to not have Flash, but have Flashblock installed
(stops prompts to install flash when a site just has flash ads, etc).
YouTube is still a bit annoying, however the HTML5 experiment means
some videos are playable without Flash (http://www.youtube.com/html5)
or just use a YouTube downloader.
