Guest to call Adobe to update flash free

My 83 year old mother was inspired to ask a free update to its flash player Adobe. She called and got a sales pitch, which she declined but apparently provided his email address, and now its browser opens to a page of type Adobe. Is - this legitimate and how she can get rid of the pop up Adobe page?

No, it is not legitimate.  Unfortunately, your MOM was deceived by a malicious notification of Flash Player.  I suspect that your MOM's computer is infected with something (malware, adware, viruses, etc.).  I highly recommend running scans for these on his computer.

Adobe takes seriously these situations.  If you have the link to the malicious site, please private message it me.  I would also like to see a screenshot of the page 'Adobe type' that takes over when she opens his browser.  See the Forum FAQ for instructions on setting a screenshot to your message.

    This password is presented by your operating system and is designed to prevent you from accidentally installing the software.

  • Adobe Reader updates day and Flash Plugin to drive.

    I was surprised to discover that the updates to Adobe Reader and Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader cannot be installed on Windows 7 without administrator rights!

    I remember, on Windows XP, that it wasn't a problem. I'm sure I checked the option to install Adobe Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader on Windows XP without administrator rights and it worked...

    Now, we have a major problem...

    I have prepared some Adobe PDF portfolio for a new policy for housing loan and deployed it is opened in a Web browser. According to my tests, he worked very nice, and loved the business user. On Windows XP, if the flash player plugin is not installed, the user will be guided to install it and it works fine.

    Just before sending the announcement to all users, we have made on Windows 7, if the flash player plugin is not installed, then when the user clicks the link to open the Briefcase, and then nothing happens. The browser window opens, and it crashes.

    Then we found that on Windows 7 to manually install the Plugin of Flash Reader, and in addition, the user must have Admin rights...

    Now, a decision was made to cancel the work done using the PDF portfolio and develop a simple page with links to documents...

    Any solution for this?

    How can we install the needed plugin without Admin right?

    Why on Windows 7, the user does not receive the prompts to guide to install the Flash Plugin from Adobe Reader?

    Tarek.

    No, there is an Installer separated for the XI Acrobat family Flash element - have installed Web plugin is not relevant.

    Check out my blog for more details

    You cannot pre-install the plugin Flash Player via the Adobe Reader business tools, it should be pulled from the Adobe Web site and installed manually. There is no equivalent to the agreement of redistribution of Adobe Reader for the Acrobat Flash Player plugin, and of course if it was distributed on CD or via a corporate intranet, normal users couldn't run anyway.

    Open Adobe Reader (from the desktop icon), and then click Help. On Adobe Reader - that should tell you what exact version you have.  If it's 9.3.3 then you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed.

    Since the administration guide, I execute the following commands on a remote host to install flash player.

    Hello

    You experience this behavior because you use the installer online, download and install Flash Player silently in background, but requires also the user to provide the option to update.  Setup Online is not intended for the distribution of the company.  Distribute Flash Player within your organization, you will need Flash Player (usually free) licenses for distribution.  Apply for a license, go to Adobe Flash Player Distribution. Adobe and complete and submit the form.  After application, you will receive an email with a link to download installers for the distribution of the company.  This includes installers .app both .pkg you can use.  None of these prompts to update the options during installation in silent mode.

    I apologize for not noticing this before, however, I assume that you did not use the installer online since you were distributing Flash Player within your organization.

  • I can't update Flash player. What I am doing wrong?

    I can't update Flash player. What I am doing wrong?

    I currently have version 21, 22 version is the latest.  I get.

    "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed."

    I did the troubleshooting steps below. Everything is good, as I can tell.

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Flash-Player/KB/enabling-Flash-Player-Firefox.html

    My Shockwave Flash is set, 'always on '.

    I ran the Adobe flash installer which seems to be successful. Then, I tried a new facility, still no joy.  (He did remove Flash Player version 21, now I have nothing.)

    Suggestions appreciated

    Firefox could block Flash because of security concerns.

    Because of security problems in older versions, Apple has

    updated the web plugin blocking mechanism to disable all

    earlier versions of Flash Player, 22.0.0.192 and 18.0.0.360.

    Information on web blocked plug-ins will be posted to:

    http://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT202681

    The question you should ask is why you have Flash installed. You don't need Flash. If you have not installed Flash, videos will play in HTML5. If the video requires Flash, you can use Google Chrome to play.

    From Sierra, Safari will be is more said websites common plug-ins are installed. It does this by not including not information on Flash, Java, Silverlight and QuickTime

  • Update Flash, now Safari 9 will not much play videos

    Hello.

    I have updated Flash for 20.0.0.267 on my Early 2011 17 "MacBook Pro (10.10.5)." Now on many web pages, Safari, (9.0.2) will not play videos. He will take care of them and I can see that SHOULD play, even scroll through the videos and see photos of different places in the videos, but no amount of press Play/Pause will get the video to PLAY.

    YouTube and Facebook videos seem to play Ok. But other sites, no. I thought it might be the Flash update, but to test it, I downloaded Chrome and videos that are "stuck" plays not not in the fine Chrome Safari game. In the Safari preferences under Advanced I unchecked "Stop plug-ins to save energy. Made no difference. In the Flash Player settings under Advanced, I deleted 'data and browser settings '. It made no difference.

    Anyone know what is happening? How to fix?
