Got a popup to install the new version of Adobe Updater - is legitimate, or software malware?
Auto Adobe Updater wants to install a new version of itself. Does not say what Adobe product, it relates to. Everything I have on this laptop are the freebies - Reader, Flash, etc. I don't know if there is an update, or several, one for each product. I usually trust these popups, so I said 'yes '. Then, I searched for "Adobe" C drive and found nothing newer than March 3. My Updater version is still 5. Nothing else happened, but while studying online, I found an update 'critical' to the reader was announced last month, and I have not yet. So, I got manually 8.2.1, Reader then installed 9.3.1 later instead. Called Adobe to see if these updates to the Updater are distributed, and they said «we do not support free software, go to the forums» Therefore, even if my version is still 5, updater, never up to date me for an updated critical and I have no new files, I can trust that this popup was not for the distribution of malware? Someone else do this popup?
If you set up Adobe Reader to receive automatic updates, then it is this update (5 or 6) that opens like this. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you what update is about to download; only after download, it tells you what it installs.
However, your attention is well founded; not sure if this is a legitimate process, or some kind of malware.
Assuming you are using Windows, open the Task Manager and check if it really is the Adobe Updater that runs (AdobeUpdater.exe or AdobeUpdaterInstallMgr.exe).

Installiing the newer Versions of system update
I can not install newer versions of system update (currently v 5.07.003) as following error message keeps appearing, preventing it.
"Setup could not create the directory"C:\ProgrammeData\Lenovo\tvsuinstaller"
183 error: cannot create a file when that file already exists. »
This problem seems to have started after I upgraded to Windows 10 summer (and have used a 'work-cycle' through companion since then to keep Lenovo).
Is there a simple solution for this problem?
A workaround is described in this post:
Current version of SU's 5.07.0019.

After you install the new version of Adobe Flash Player yesterday, Firefox would not charge most of the sites except in basic html, as I understand is the right term for all the lists in the text, especially on the left side of the screen. They open in Google Chrome and IE. I tried to restore to two days ago, today I uninstalled Firefox and re-installed, I have tried several possible solutions in the support forums, but nothing has worked. I prefer Firefox but it will fall if I can't get this resolved quickly. Note: I only start from the principle that the new flash player was to blame as it happened immediately after. I don't really know yet what he does, it's just one of those things that appears and says he has to be upgraded to the latest version from time to time.
The Flash player plugin allows certain types of media to be displayed in the web pages. Otherwise, you get an empty rectangle. Usually Flash would not hinder Firefox to load style sheets, images and other elements that add to the raw text of the page.
You can try the reset function. It duplicates some data key of your active settings in a new file, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins (including Flash) will still be active, but may be disabled manually if you wish.
More information in this article: Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons. Please note that an old parameter file appears on your desktop. You might want to keep this around for awhile in case you need to save something from him
Does make a difference?

install the new version of firefox will save my old settings such as bookmarks and custom parameters
If I install the new version of firefox, it will save my custom settings and bookmarks?
It seems that you already have the latest version, Firefox 6. You can look to the right of your question or you can look at help > about Firefox.
To answer your question, update usually retains your personal data (bookmarks, passwords recorded, etc.). However, it is always a good idea to keep a backup of your personal data in case of hard drive failure or accidental formatting, preferable on another hard drive, a USB pin/USB/thumb/key or a CD/DVD, so that you don't miss them. I use an add-on named FEBE for me to do on a regular basis.
