Short answer yes. Sometimes Apple includes updates to Flash in its Software Update feature but you can always get the latest version from Adobe's website. Reinstalling Flash will probably solve your problem.

You can also try using YouTube in HTML 5 instead of Flash by going here YouTube - HTML5.. Not all YouTube videos are in HTML 5 so you will still need Flash for those that are not but a decent amount are in HTML 5.
