Adobe Flash auto update on Safari

Today (June 22, 2016), I opened Safari and a popup told me to download Adobe Flash Update. Unless I downloaded, I could not close Safari or even shut down my computer. I was suspicious of this pop - up so disconnected my modem. I could then close Safari and I deleted everything with Adobe in my files. Reconnected my modem and spent in Google Chrome as my default browser. Google automatically updated Adobe Flash so I have been re - install Adobe Reader for Mac on the Adobe site.

Is there anything else I should do to protect my MacBookPro (13-inch, mid 2009)?

Hello

Make sure that your Mac OS X is up to date.

Open system preferences > App Store, then select updates and then click check now.

Best way to avoid malware or adware is to keep the system software of your Mac up-to-date.

And you can check for updates of Adobe Flash in system preferences > Flash Player > updates > check now

Remember to never download a Flash update from anywhere but the Adobe Web site.

And make sure that the access controller is configured correctly. Open system preferences > Security and privacy. Ensure that: Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If this box is greyed out, click the padlock icon gold to go forward. You may be prompted for your admin password. When you are finished, click the padlock icon gold once again to close.

OS X: on Gatekeeper
