Hi MadelineB

 

I believe that you are correct to treat this with suspicion. I presume that you are getting this indication whilst browsing and having clicked on a link?

 

Whilst this may be true, i.e., that you Flash Player is out of date, you should only update from the proper Adobe site which is as follows: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

 

Just to make sure check that you version of Flash Player is up to date by going to this site: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ 

but do remember that this will not work if you are using Chrome as your browser as it already includes the Flash Player built-in, & Chrome will automatically update when new versions of Flash Player are available.

 

Regards, Baldrick

Hey there Madeline. 

 

If your flashplayer is out of date and you are concerned about the authenticity of a popup link, the best thing to do would be to go to the actual website for flash and download the up to date plugin from there. 

 

 Here is the link: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

 

I hope this helps

Hi Bradforth

 

Practice makes it easier...but kind of you to say so, my friend.

Thank you.  I followed the link that you and Bradforth provided and downloaded the flash player.

Hi MadelineB

 

No worries...just install and continue browsing and then if yo get a further warning then you can be sure that the site either has no idea as to what it is reporting or it is indeed a malcious attempt (especially if the site itself provides a link for a supposed Flash Player update).

 

The moral here is ALWAYS download from the author's or the author's accredited website(s).
