MacKeeper attached to the update of Flash Player?

I recently downloaded the update for Adobe Flash Player free. When I unzipped the file, I was encouraged to install MacKeeper, a program that I hate! Despite my request is not for her, and even without asking me to install it, I was shocked to see that it has been installed! I searched the internet for instructions on how to uninstall (it wee several!) I did it after a long procedure requiring almost 20 deleted files! I was very careful to follow the instructions, but now I can't find my photo library! Adobe is aware of this intrusion by the jolts which make MacKeeper? I don't know how that could have been attached to download without knowledge of Adobe. Looking forward to hear from someone because I'm not afraid to install the file, I have Adobe and, quite frankly, hesitant to ever upgrade Flash Player again even if that means I never use again.

I hate MacKeeper!

Hello

I'm sorry that you have downloaded a malicious Flash Player installation program that has installed the software MacKeeper questionable.  Adobe does NOT bundle MacKeeper with the installer of Flash Player, so this is it not an official Adobe Flash Player installer.  The official site for download Flash Player from get.adobe.com/flashplayer East.  If the installer does not come from this site, or the update does not update the Flash Player early notification, he came not from Adobe.

Regarding: "I don't know how that could have been attached to download without knowledge of Adobe."  In fact, this happens, and Adobe is going after these malicious actors who post malicious Flash Player installers.  Where did you download the update from?  I heard (recently) of MacKeeper cela but did not have a URL to pass on to the relevant Department to treat this.  If you have a URL, please private message it me and I'll pass it on to the team of fraud/privacy tracking on.

Thank you.

  • The update of Flash Player 20.0.0.267 caused horrible sound and problem of instability in my application scare users.

    The update of Flash Player 20.0.0.267 in Chrome/Firefox/Adobe-Flash-Player, under specific environment which we have already applied in thousands of SWF files, we find 1) unable to stop playing the sound which is placed on the timeline by ActionScript "this.stop" in our running game and 2) it could also cause several sounds playing simultaneously causing a loud noise and crash suddenly on browser just in few seconds.

    I did a test to demonstrate the problem (but not limited to this case, in fact):

    1. in Adobe Flash Professional CS 5.5, start a new project of the 'New project' with the help of "ActionScript 3";

    2. in the chronology of the scene, make sure we extended to exactly 2 frames;

    Note: '2 images' are a must.  The bug does not occur in "image 1" or "3 frames.

    3. in the area of the stage, create a Movie Clip symbol, namely "symbol 1;"

    4. in 'symbol 1', value 3 layers with timeline length about 30 images;

    5. at the 'symbol 1', adds a rectangle to the keyframe in the layer 1 1, add a command Action "this.stop ();" image key 5 in layer 2, and set the "Sound" to key 10 in layer 3 image using any MP3, Sync-mode 'Stream' and 'Repeat' file, then close "symbol 1" music video;

    6. make sure of course that the '1' symbol is placed in the stage space, and then save.

    7. publish the SWF file.

    8. open the output file with Flash Player 20.0.0.267 in any platform.  The expected result would be an audio clip is played regularly, even if 'this.stop ();"was executed in front of her to reach the image to play the sound.

    Here's how we reproduced a more serious bug inserting a code unrelated to the statement also:

    9. close Flash Player has opened in step 8;

    10 continue to edit the same file in step 1 in Flash Professional CS 5.5;

    11. Add a new layer in the timeline of the scene;

    12 Add an Action to frame 1 of the new layer with ActionScript "trace ('abc');";

    13. publish the file SWF.

    14 open with the output file with Flash Player 20.0.0.267 in any platform.  The expected result would be a LOT OF audio clip played together causing a loud noise.

    Here are the links for the FLA and SWF we produced in the experiment above.

    I guess that any computer with the reader Flash 20.0.0.267 must generate the same result.  We are always ready to just look for a solution.

    We build more recent that we believe addresses the sound question (as well as the difficulties of previous bug provided in our last beta).  We would appreciate your feedback from those that have taken place.  I have included all versions of the installer in the link below.

  • Not able to download the update of Flash Player

    I have a Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.  And I'm running on Safari 6.  I tried to download the update of Flash Player for Adobe Flash Player Installer 15 since last week.   The download box appears when I click on 'Install Adobe Flash Player'.  He requested my password, I come into the box of shakes showing that I entered the wrong password.  I changed my password for Adobe and my administrator password.  And still nothing.  And I can't uninstall it because I apparently do not have the right password.  I asked for help on this problem last week.  And no one has been able to help.

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

    If it comes to your personal computer and you don't need a password to connect to the computer when it first starts, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to go to this prompt.  If it comes to your personal computer and your normal password does not work, make sure that CAPS LOCK SHIFT is off, and then type the password carefully.

    If this is your work machine and he asks an administrator password, well, you will need to have a conversation with your computer friendly.

    If you are still puzzled, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

  • Trouble installing the update of Flash player 14.0.0.177 for Chrome

    I tried to help my mother to update his flash drive. It was flash version 14.0.0.145 running and having problems with it. When I saw there was a newer version, 14.0.0.177, so I downloaded it, I was checking things for her. Chrome, to activate it on the plugins page, but the only version to appear was the old man. As far as I know, this is how it is installed. She has a computer with the windows operating system windows 7. Is there something I'm missing here, or something I must try that might help to get the latest version of flash running? Thank you!

    Hello

    The version of Flash Player integrated in Chrome is updated by Google, not Adobe.  For this version of Flash Player, it seems that Google has released Flash Player via an update to Chrome (as opposed to a components updated, they do sometimes), in accordance with this page Chrome releases: Stable channel update, which indicates that 36.0.1985.143 is the version that contains the update of Flash Player. You can navigate to chrome://chrome to trigger the update (or tools > about Google Chrome, that goes to the same page).

    You have two options:

  • Install the update of flash player adobe - why is my password is not eligible

    During the second part of the installation (the part where it ask for your password); Adobe does not accept my password and therefore I can't complete installation. How to overcome this problem.

    Hello

    It's the OS, not Flash Player to ask for the password, as such, it is one you use (with administrator permissions) to connect to your system.  See what userid & password I need to install Flash Player?  For more information

    Thank you!

    I downloaded the Flash Player update and went through all the necessary steps to do so.  When I get to the step that requires my ID and password it rejects my entries and I can't go any further.  I used the same Adobe ID and password that I use for my Adobe account.  I even used my Mac Apple ID and password, but the Adobe log in reject it too.  What should I do?

  • How can I change the size of the updated Adobe Flash Player box?

    Hello.

    So, I just got a new laptop (Lenovo Yoga Pro 2) and Adobe Flash Player Setting box that appears is only 4 cm x 2.5 cm on my screen, which is barely readable. My youtube at the bottom of each video loading bar is also abnormally narrow (my cursor is about twice the size of the play symbol). I think that the two may be related. If someone could help fix me these two question that would be wonderful.

    Thank you!

  • Internet security Windows 7 will not allow the installation of Flash Player 17 update

    Internet security Windows 7 does not allow the installation of the update of Flash Player 17.  I tried the direct installation using the IE_AX update without success.

    The procedures described in the last link enabled the update of Flash Player be downloaded and installed.

    It is regrettable that Windows IE seen Adobe as being an unreliable Site and requires a temporary user disable the security settings for the update to proceed.

    Thank you for your help.

  • How can I stop the Google downloads when you perform an update of Flash player?

    Whenever I'm doing an update of Adobe Flash Player the Google Chrome and download the update of Flash Player toolbar. Is anyway to stop what is happening before the fact, rather than having to remove two Google programs after the download? It's very boring and that devious on the part of Adobe and Google! I use Windows 7 with IE10. I don't have Google chrome.

    Hello

    I'm sorry, we do not provide help with malware/adware/malware removal, because it is beyond the scope of these forums.  There are many other sites that will inform you about it.

    Where did you download the update of Flash Player malicious?  Adobe actively malicious sites providing malware installers for Flash Player.  If you provide a direct link to the update file I send to our Department of security/fraud to follow-up on.

  • Page updated Firefox always said 'you need to update Adobe Flash Player now! ", but identifies the missing plugin update process which I am unable to find.

    I click the button to update Flash Player on the web page updated to Firefox that brings me to the Adobe Flash Player download page. By clicking on the download button now takes me to a page of instruction poster screenshots to wait during the process. The InfoBar at the top of the page says it has a missing plug in, but by clicking on the button "install the plug-in missing" translates to "not found any plug-in." There is no other button or active link on the Adobe page that allows me to move forward with the process. This same thing happened the last several times that Firefox has updated. Flash Player has not been updated for a long time.

    Is easier to use the manual setup programs to install Flash, for details, see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
