Not sure if Flash Player update prompt was real

[MrOnline]

SO I'm not that best tech guy but my Adobe Flash Player wanted a update today, I denied it..

It was something about making 3D better etc.. So is that the fake ?

How can we know while you didn't post a screenshot?

 

[MrOnline]

Hmm, didn't know that there is a fake.. I just clicked remind me later so it doesn't update itself!

@MrOnline Go to - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html and click the yellow 'Check Now'

Adobe Flash Player for Chrome and 'Internet Explorer on Windows 8/8.1' is built-in, so it should be up to date assuming you 1. have an updated browser 2. you use Windows Update.

Firefox / Opera / Other browsers use the Flash Player plug-in which runs background service to check for updates.

@MrOnline Always download from the official website will be very safe

Your Flash Version
15.0.0.152
Your browser name
Firefox

So was that one a scam ? Because it wanted to update itself to a newer version.

Check latest versions for Flash Player - http://www.adobe.com/uk/software/flash/about/

Newest version available is 15.0.0.189 you have 15.0.0.152.

How have you configured Adobe Flash Player? The default settings are set to Allow.


Firefox users can Perform a Plug-in check for updates - https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/plugincheck/

Set it to remind me of new updates, not to update automatically...

 

[Adhit Prakosho]

I suggest you use Google chrome because Adobe Flash Player is directly integrated with Google Chrome and enabled by default and you only need to always update google chrome

 

[MrOnline]

Nah, I'll stick to Mozilla Google has a Spyware... Not sure how but it has.

Man this world is full of "spiders", you don't need Mozilla to protect you from the "web".

 

[MrOnline]

I like Mozilla okay ? And was that the scam I reported or just a Official ask for update ?
