WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date.   how can i solve this problem/

The Flash update alerts are fake, and are intended to mislead you into installing malware and/or to steal your identity. They're the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to well-known websites such as Google and YouTube are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert a paper clip and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
Then go through the initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits.Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set another strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.

  • I get a warning, Your Flash Player may be out of date.  Please update to continue.

    When I try and open Facebook or Youtube on an Apple Macbook.  Flash player is up to date, and the website that opens when you click on the link in the message is not Adobe.  I've tried clearing history and cookies, and it still does this sometimes.  I've even had a tech visit who did fix the problem but it has returned.  Does anyone else have this problem and can advise what is causing it?

    This is not a message that Adobe is providing, and I recommend that you not click on the link. It sounds as though you might have malware on your computer.

  • "WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of Date. Please upgrade to continue. "

    I try to go on facebook, youtube, google or Yahoo, and it's opening a page with an announce: "WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of Date. Please upgrade to continue. " I can click only "ok", then it opens a page of "FLASH PLAYER PRO", and it would me to download a trojan virus (avira recognized it) called "setup.exe.". I know that is a viral page that maybe is stealing the name of "Flash Player Pro ", but how is possible to stop it? The plug-in on the pc has the same name of "shockawave flash" ; I tried to: cancel cookies, changing antivirus, istalling flash player 13 from the official site, cancelling every adobe flash player of the pc. Blocking the site is unusefull because they have'nt an IP address and they steal the IP address of the site you choose. I've a Windows 7 professional 32 bit and I try with: Firefox, Chroome, Opera, Explorer. Nothing.  Does anybody knows how can I stop it?
    I wrote this post in "Installing flash player" because maybe is an installation problem... I don't know.
    Thank you!!

    There is no such thing as "Flash Player PRO". Never has been. Never will be.
    What you're seeing is a result of a hack into your router.

  • WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue

    Can someone please help me. I have contacted Mac support 3 times and no one can help me and was recommended I go onto this forum.
    I keep getting a pop up on my Mac, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5 and another MacBook we have in the house. It says "WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue."
    I have done a bit of research and a few websites have said it is a Trojan. I have updated flash, reset safari and a heap of other things.
    I am not tech savvy and just want this fixed. Someone help.
    Thanks.

    Hello Katie,
    Apple frequently flags older versions of Flash Player as out-of-date in Safari, prompting users to upgrade to the latest, most secure version of Flash Player.  The current version of Flash Player is 14.0.0.145.  If you have a version prior to this, you'll need to upgrade in order to view Flash content.  You can also visit this page, http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/, to verify the latest version of Flash Player for your OS platform.
    Please note that Flash Player is not supported on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad). I suspect you'll continue to get similar messaging when visiting web sites on these devices that contain Flash content.

  • WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date.

    I keep getting this popup when using Firefox: "WARNING! your flash player may be out of date." I can tell it's phishing and I've never had this problem before. How can I get this to stop when using Firefox? It doesn't happen with IE.

    Thank you jscher2000 for your help. My issues started around the time that I made a mistake, about a week or so ago. I fell for a "get free stuff for taking a survey" trick. A momentary lapse in sanity, sorry. I have tried emsisoft malware scanner, and it initially found and quarantined something called Gen%3aTrojan.Heur.Hype.luX%40aGKciof (B) - about which I could find no information.
    I have since done two deep (and painfully slow) scans with emsisoft, and it now says no threats are detected. But downloader and flash update intrusions continue to happen, only in firefox, not in chrome or IE. Like fettermann, I get one of two different interruptions. I haven't taken a screen snip of the other one, sorry. I have also done the firefox reset to default, which did not help. I think uninstall and reinstall would essentially do the same and likewise not help.
    I am gratefull to know the programs listed above are freeware. I will invest the time to go through them all, as soon as possible.
    I do not have very many plugins, and all of them I have had for anywhere from several months to more than a year, and they hadn't caused issues before. (I pretty much think it was the survey scam.) I have seven: silverlight (for netflix), adobe flash, hulu desktop (which I never use but I think was included either in firefox or on my pc at purchase), MS Office 2010, Windows Live Photo Gallery (also a default I think), Google Update and iTunes Application Detector.
    Hulu is the only one I would disable and consider unneeded. And as it's been there all along and I've never used it, not sure how it could be the source...?
    I will let the forum know results after I get through the list of malware scanners.
    Again, thanks very much to all for the info and advice.

  • My Mac refuses to open certain pages e.g. google/facebook for a weird reason "Your flash player may be out of date and you need to update it", but my flash player is up to date.

    My Mac refuses to open certain pages e.g. google/facebook for a weird reason "Your flash player may be out of date and you need to update it", but my flash player is up to date. I tried to install a new flash player version "setup.exe" but it said the file cannot be opened because the application is not supported on MAC OS X, does anyone have same problem? please help.

    when i ask for Authorizeed computer i got the message " make sure your computer' date is set correctly and that it accepts cookies from the itunes stores " how can i solve this problem please .

    Ok, so I just worked out that itunes communicates through your browser so it's a cookie in the browser not PC direct that fixes this.  Bit of a convoluted route but for me it was IE>Internet setting>privacy>sites, then allow all activity from apple.com/itunes.

  • I have to reload a webpage to make a Flash Object in IE7 WinXP SP3. How can i fix this problem?

    Hello:
    When I want to navigate a webpage that contains a flash object, the Internet Explorer show the icon that the page contains an error, if I relod the page, the page now doesn't show the error and the Flash objects work well. This occurs recently, some weeks ago, I didn't have that problem. How can I fix this problem?
    I'm using Win XP SP3, IE8 and Flash 14.0.0.145
    I tried to uninstall the 14 version and installed the 13 version but the problem persists.

    All new keyboards need Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and above for full functionality.
    Rather short-sighted of Apple perhaps, but that seems to be a trend these days.
    I'm afraid the only fix is to upgrade to SL. Personaly, I'd take it back and get a refund and seek an older keyboard or a third-party one elsewhere.

  • I've just installed mountain lion on my macbook pro. I cannot open preview and it is also stalling the log out sequence? How can I solve this

    I've just installed Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro and cannot now open Preview. I've partly solved the reading of PDF documents by installing Adobe Reader, but Preview is also stalling the log out process. Any suggestions how I might solve this annoying trait would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

    Just an FYI, normally you give the 'solved' award to the person who gave you the answer, not to yourself.

  • Flash player crashes all the time. How can I fix this?

    This is driving me crazy!! This happens too many times where I will be on a website with Flash and Firefox will pop up this message saying that the Flash player script has crashed and if I want to keep it on or turn it off. Basically what is happening is the flash player is crashing and it happens way too many times. I've done everything! Updating the flash player, resetting Firefox...nothing is working. Yes, I do have the latest version of Firefox.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    Please report back soon.

  • My calendar is blocked. The server has a problem. I am trying everything, but since days I have no access to my agenda anymore. I am about to throw my MacBook Air out of the window :-( How can I solve this problem? My calendar does not react to anything!!

    My calendar is blocked since a few days, while I tried to upload a message in an event. In this weekend, i have not been able to get ANYbody at all online, to help me. I am desperate and feel absolutely idiot. Is anybody out there who can help me?.
    In the website it said:
    1. Open iCal - select "preferences" (I cannot select anything!)
    2. Select "accounts" (I have no clue what to do there)
    3. Re-enter " username and password (Where?)
    4. Exit iCal and start again (I did this, but don't get anywhere near a solution).
    5. Done (cry, cry, nothing changed for days now and I am about to throw everything out of my window :-))
    Thanks for some very useful and easy tips!

    Thanks mate ...
    yes I have an upgraded Iphoto 11 from 9.4.3 ........ unfortunately .... no it didn't solve the problem.  Of course my illiteracy is no help ..... but I did as you suggested and nothing changed at all.  When I highlight a photo I am unable to minimize it and despite changing folders (ie:photos to events) all that happens is that the events folder opens behind the opened photo.  The only solution is to go to "force quit" even though there is no sign to say "iphoto is not responding". and start again ..... very frustrating.  Appreciate any suggestion you have ...

  • I am facing recurrent failing message on my MacBook Air as follows : "your starting disk is fully soon"...how can I solve this issue?? Thks in advance for your help

    I am currently facing a following error message "Please note your starting disk is upcoming full"... It does appear I did a mistake, could someone help me by solving this issue?? Thks José

    No mistake, you simply have to delete some items from your MacBook Air.
    Start by emptying the Trash - obvious, but easily overlooked.
    Then determine what, if any, documents, photos, movies, etc. you can live without and either delete them or copy them to another device.
