Mark and Dale Bruss Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I treat that as a phishing ad and ignore. I only update Flash by going to the Adobe Web site. In Win8, you can check Flash status in the Control Panel.

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Did you verify you are at the latest level of Flash? From what I can determine, this warning is piggybacked on numerous adware which is everywhere. If you follow the popup, it might update Flash but will add in some extra stuff. Make sure you are up todate, it seems that the popups are trigger by your version not being the latest. Then cancel the popups. I run with Flash set to "Ask to run: on FireFox and Chrome. I think because I do that, the popup sensing is skipped on page load. I have to add the extra step of allowing Flash on the video I want to watch. But then a lot of extra Flash in the ads on some of the pages I view do not load.

budeneighe Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 I really wish that Flash would go ahead and finish dying. It does not work on Android and the only useful workaround is the Dolphin browser which is the only reason I even have that one installed. It's one thing to say that it is dead but quite another to actually kill it in its tracks and switch to something better. Since Chrome had its own builtin version of flash, there were some conflicts and one could choose which to use. I don't know about all that now.

airstream harry Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 After trying every thing suggested. I gave up. Figured Windows 10 would fix it when I get it. Have not gotten 10 yet, but flash now works ALMOST. Each time a video plays I get a massage Some .com site wants storage space on my computer. What the hell is that. I checked and on 8-15 an automatic Windows update installed the newest version of Flash. c u on the road airstream harry 2000 Land Yacht MH 2007 Saturn Ion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airstream harry Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I run Malware Bytes ,Defender and CC Cleaner every night. It seems to me that any time Adobe in any form shows up there is trouble. Will this continue with Windows 10? c u on the road airstream harry 2000 Land Yacht MH 2007 Saturn Ion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV_ Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Beats me Harry! I just loaded my first computer with it Windows 10 last night and have not gotten much time with it yet. It wasn't much of a major event as some have painted it. I felt like I was in Windows 8.1 with a new browser. Like when I use the Aviator Browser. I think soon HTML5 will be replacing Flash everywhere.
