  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.

  Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

  It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
  account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
  were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
  who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
  NOT only the answer to the address.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

• YouTube muted after Flash update

  Following a recent Flash update, I hear no sound on YouTube videos.
  I can still hear sound on the video test of FF, here page:
  https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/navigational-sounds

  So I went to this help page:
  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/no%20sound%20in%20firefox?s=sound+YouTube & r = 0 & m = & did = s

  On this page, he refers to a feature in Windows called "Volume Mixer". The screenshot shows three applications to the Volume mixer function, they are called "Sound system", "Mozilla Firefox" and "Container Plugin for Firefox".

  I only have one called 'System Sounds '. The other two are missing. Why is it so and how do I restore them?
  On the Microsoft forum, they tell me that the applications are added here automatically.

  Another forum suggested that the plugin was blocked by my firewall. This isn't so.
  And yet another forum suggested that I disable using accident coverage a topic: config parameter: there's no way I'm going to do this.

  Alice:
  I have now uninstalled Flash, which was a beta version because the latest 'stable' done FF crash when viewing Google Docs.
  I then installed the latest recommended Flash in the usual way, and this, combined with the upgrade to version 11 FF seems to have solved both problems.
  Thanks for your help.

  If you have installed a version 4.0beta, you're on the beta channel and will get notifications of a new beta version is available for installation. Firefox 5.0beta2 became available this past week, that's why you are getting this notification now.

• How to spot a fake Flash Updater?

  A few days ago, I have updated Flash Player on all my computers.

  Today at bowsing on a webserver which apparently was not using any Flash content

  a warning window comes on top of my work:

  There is no mention of what version talks about this update.

  At the same time the range of low grade in the IMMA make me think about typical adware

  who try to take us to the navigation on the commercial web servers.

  I tend to think it's a more wrong Flash Updater.

  How can I determine if this Setup is real or fake?

  How can I quickly see the version of that this installer is speaking?

  How can I identify what source is this bleeding window?

  An update of Flash Player version was released two days ago: 14.0.0.145.

  However, I don't know how to identify false update notifications.

  Best way to avoid false updates is to manually download the update from the Adobe or Macromedia site: g http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm - this link always contains the latest available Installer.

• Why does Adobe think we want Chrome addons and McAfee adds a simple FLASH update?

  It is not good to present an update with addons like Chrome and McAfee to install negative directly run from the site.  Download the file after unchecking the box that I don't want mcafee mess up my computer you can install the update without the garbage.  I want either chrome...  Of course, I used it in the past but I don't want to now.  It's almost impossible to use the web these days without flash enabled unless you are a people and don't understand anyway.   Try to graft these unwanted software on top a Flash update isn't cool!  Its bad enough 3rd party downloads come with things like that but whats next a few adware?    Please review your strategies update than getting installed stuff is lame that he refuses the favors at all.

  It's friendly Pat that you create installers without it.  The point is that the common unknowing user can be warned of needing an update for flash can create problems for them then that is unaware of the McAfee and Chrome addons, who is not aware of your own installation programs.

  This is not a complaint is a justified grievance.  Updates for most of the software don't come with the need to search around for a clean install.

  If you like to keep McAfee to use it.  Perhaps you have never had the experience of using an Acer One netbook provided with McAfee preinstalled on it and the 'fun' it creates.
