I get a "Update Adobe Flash Player" message that will not let me log in my wordpress admin page. Is this a legitimate adobe or is it a scam?

adobe-update-scam.JPG

This thing keeps coming up that I can't log into my blog admin panel. I downloaded the file, but the smalls as malware. «License agreement of the software from the Adobe «is a bunch of writing in a language of a forign.»» What is c? When I click 'Skip',..., the image disappears and nothing happens.

Yes, it looks like a fake popup.  Adobe would never use Times New Roman in a dialog box.  It's all sans serif around here.

Seriously, do not have pop-up ads or links in the email.  Navigate to the developer site and download the software it always manually.

For Flash Player, you can go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer to get an authentic installation program.

For Google Chrome on all platforms and Internet Explorer and Edge under Windows 8 and higher, Flash Player is a built-in component of the browser, so there is nothing separate to install or update.  If a website says that Flash is not installed on these targets, most of the time that it is because the logic of Flash detection Web site is wrong, or it's a malicious actor trying to entice you to download malware (and in some cases, make you pay for the privilege first...).

Please do you a favor and update Flash Player automatically.  Keep the Flash, your browser and your operating system automatically updated is your best line of defense against malicious software by 2015.   The occasional embarrassment incurred when things break is a small price to pay compared to the pain of identity theft and fraud.  The landscape of the thread has changed, and the philosophies behind avoiding updates are really difficult to sustain at this stage.

  • Flash Player 10.1, will not be allowed to 'play '. Laughing out loud.

    I have FF 3.6.8 (using as primary) and 4.0b6 FF, which I run on XP SP3.
    I am getting error "Installation is corrupt!  Your help says it's because of the addition of Adobe DLM being partially installed browser.
    Well I uninstalled three times now.  And when I go to re - DL Flash Player 10.1, I keep getting invited to MANUALLY install go.xpi, which then puts Adobe DLM right in my browser.  I get not anywhere in my efforts to make Flash Player 10.1 install or work in any capacity.

    And Yes, I did disable my antivirus and firewall temporarily - to install.  But even the way we display message is buggy and quirky, and when go you back more than a few times, the cursor jumps a few lines automatically and it starts to clear the text instead of the line that you intend...

    What happened to Adobe? You used to be great, now start you shit.  I could use some help to solve this cube of headings pixelated you call software.

    Do not use the Download Manager; Download your Installer directly from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

    BTW you do not discuss Adobe here - this is a user forum, so your complaints will not reach their destination.

  • Ive installed the new flash player and it will not work.

    I recently had my pc infected by many viriuses. my pc has been cleaned by some of the following malwarebytes, avira and macafee. I think that iam in 32-bit windows Explorer. When I looked there is nothing after the ' # ' but it doesn't say "in the level of 128-bit encryption. What can I do?

    Hi again, ok. Now since you have McAfee as a paid version, I would like to uninstall Avira or turn it off at least. The rule is to have an anti-virus program, since most of which will cause conflictions. MBAM is ok, as long as it's right on your desktop and you run it when you want.

    What we will do is to uninstall the current version of Flash Player, install vs 9, then uninstall vs 9, then install the most recent Flash Player vs which is 10.1.102.64.

    To do this, use the administrator account.

     

    Go to this site and download and SAVE the program uninstaller on your desktop:

    http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/141/tn_14157.html

    Go to this site and download and SAVE the installer to your desktop:

    http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/406/kb406791.html

    You page down for Solutions and under Windows in Flash Player 9 and use the Internet Explorer 1.46 MB

    Go to this site and download and SAVE the installer to your desktop:

    http://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

    You will use the Windows, Internet Explorer download EXE to install

     

    Once you have on your desk, using the administrator account, you CLOSE all browser windows.

    Disable McAfee & Avira

    Look in your tray (area near the clock) system for instant messengers, yahoo, aol, etc and turn them off.

    Your computer, run the program uninstall and when it's finished, Reboot (restart).

    Check and make sure that McAfee & Avira are always disabled.

    Run the Setup from vs 9 and when you're done, restart your computer

     

    Test your browser here and you should be able to see the Flash animation (spin) logo and the Flash Player version must be listed.

    http://www.Adobe.com/software/Flash/about/  Must vs 9

    Now, you run the program to uninstall again to uninstall vs 9, when finished, restart your computer

    Check and make sure that McAfee & Avira are always disabled.

    Run Setup vs 10.1.102.64 and when finished, restart your computer.

    Then test your browser and you should have now installed 10.1.102.64 vs.

    You may want to print these directions to make it easier to follow.

    If you have any questions, let me know.

  • On flash player pressing ESC will not end full-screen more

    I am running windows 7 64 bit and now when I go fullscreen mode I can't click ESC to exit back to the normal display. I remember I accidentally right click and choose the global settings in the menu options, but haven't selected what whether closed this window immediately. Happened since then if I did something right there.

    All the Googling I've done is back with problems on the message "Hit esc to exit fullscreen" will not go away so I have not found much on my problem, can someone help me?

    E: should mention I have 10,3,181,34 installed and am using FF5.

    Hi, you could try F11 or alt + tab Alt + tab will open another window and then maybe one with full screen can be exited.

    Not sure about the latter, but worth a try. I don't know why esc would not work, but I don't think that the Global Settings Panels would have something to do with it.

    Thank you

  • Flash Player 10.1 will not install

    I use Mozilla Firefox 3.6.1 on Windows Vista, and Flash 10.1 will not be installed.

    I downloaded the installer, but after I click the conditions button I accept, it is said that it can not install following contradictory demands: Mozilla Firefox. He says this even when Firefox is not open, then, what do I do?

    Also - assuming you use Windows - check with Manager tasks (processes tab) running Firefox is indeed not somewhere in the background.

  • I get request to update my Flash Player from Adobe. What is c? Where to find info on how to use it?

    I don't really know how to use this thing, I'm seriously "physically challenged and a slow-learner." and my computer repair man keeps changing computers about me.  (In this I am not sure that it helps me.  Once I have to get used to some programs, there are 'new '.   His "real confusion.  For example, I got a real easy to use-address book that had all my personal and business addresses and telephone #s in there.  The computer got a 'blue screen' several times, so he came and changed my "Dell XPS" computer professional with a 'new' (a ' Dell 7 Ultimate' it was 'better'.    If I could afford it, I buy a new one and start over) so I rarely know 'where' I am, or what to do when I'm 'where I am.  With a full-time job and a serious hobby of computer repair, it doesn't have the time to help me with "operational" issues This put an unfair burden on anyone trying to help me, but I HAD TO GET HELP - SOMEWHERE, so if I'm not a gene with what will be long-term issues (because I don't know much about the computer operations), can I impose to ask what might be the basic questions?  Of course, they cannot be "basic", but what I know.     I read "... for Dummies" books, but they did not answer my questions.  I'll try to be brief, but it's not my nature.          So, let's go...

    Sometimes I get request to "update my Adobe Flash Player."  I have looked under Start programs and everything I find is "Adobe Flash Player";  I do not use reader because I do not know how, or its purpose.  But I feel like I'm missing out on thing, why would he says in the 1st place?  (I don't want to watch videos, and somewhere, I think I remember it may have something to do with it.  If so, I peut have a NEED for him.  And if so, where can I find information on how to use it.  Once again, if so, I also NEED the Flash Player?

    Flash Player is used by some web sites to improve how their web page or pages are displayed. If you go on a site that uses Adobe Flash and Flash Player is not installed on your computer, you will see a request to install Flash Player. When Flash Player is installed, then you can never know its duration as its transparent you when loading a web page.

    In your case and on my computer I installed Flash Player, and for this purpose, I see the same update request that you see. It is best to install the update to the latest version of bugs or security risks that may currently exist in the old version install on your PC.
