I am a user of WebRoot Complete.  Anything else you need to know about me related to my request, please ask.  

I have very limited technical knowledge. 

 

What I thought was a ligitimate need to update an ADOBE  app I ended up with "secure search.....) which Chrome says is not a secure search.  In my finder window under all files is the following: Flash Player (1).dmg   I have automatic download to update apps.   

 

Is it safe to delete this imposter?

 

 

Thanks
Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!

 

Read here to get more information and there are safe links in the thread to download the latest version: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Security-Industry-News/Adobe-Acrobat-amp-Reader-Security-Updates-Jan-10-2017/td-p/281593

 

And see here for Adobe Flash: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Security-Industry-News/Adobe-Flash-Player-24-0-0-194/td-p/281625

 

Also just noticed what you are showing is for Mac Computers. Flash Player (1).dmg

 

Thanks,

 

Daniel 😉
The latest version of Flash Player was already installed. I did not know at the time . The system did not allow the FP to install. Shortly after the "Safe Search" replaced the Chrome Secure search. It assigned itself as the Default search engine. My question is " can I delete the September 8,2017 Flash Player (1) .dmg imposter?
Hello handson, Welcome to the Webroot Community Forum. :D

 

I just did a Google Search on "makeymcmacface". Since you are limited in technical knowledge I would let the Webroot Experts look into this. I would keep the Flash Player (1).dmg where it is for now and let Webroot Team see what actually was downloaded to your Mac. Please submit a Support Ticket or Contact Webroot Support to sort this problem. 

 

EDIT: Make sure you tell Support that you are running a Mac. ;)

 

HTH,

Dave.
I am getting them on the phone now



Thanks
