Fake flash player update-

How i can uninstall this update/program. I install this update last week. And today I saw this Fake adobe flash player installer and redirect virus - Am I infected? What do I do? .

If you're seeing THIS...
Specifically, "Flash Player PRO"....
It's not a virus. Not on your computer, anyway. Your router is one of the victims of a hack. Hackers have hacked 300000+ wireless routers, Check yours NOW!
You'll most likely end up replacing the router. The ones that can be erased (flashed) and reloaded are few and far between.

Fake flash player update "install_flashplayer12x32au_mssd_awc_aih.exe "

Hi Folks,
i´m concerning about an update that i recently downloaded from:
https://get3.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/update/plugin/
with the following downloadlink:
https://get3.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_12_for_Other_Browse rs&os=XP&browser_type=Gecko&browser_dist=Firefox&d=McAfee_Security_Scan_Plus_FireFox_Brows er&p=mss&dualoffer=false&type=au&browser_vers=26
it took a time to download it and afterwards i saw that the file occupied about 800mb!
Now i checked the same link another time and it resulted to be another file with only 1mb!
it seems to me like its a fake?
Thank for you help!
System is Win XP home
Browser Firefox 26.0
Flash plugin version 12.0.0.43

https://get3.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/update/plugin/
IS legitimate. It's the download site for Flash Player.
I have no idea how the download got to 800Mb. The "stub" installer is 1mb and it downloads a 17mb file for the full installer.
I don't use the "updater" myself. I prefer to use the FULL offline installers for my updating:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Adobe Flash Player Update 13._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Downloaded Adobe Flash Player 13 a few days ago after Adobe kept prompting me to update for an enhanced video player experience with popups from Adobe. Every time I go to play a video or game, this VERY annoying pop up askes me to accept or deny third party storage on my computer which also allows them to access my info.
I DO NOT ACCEPT, however, it is very resistant to disappearing after several attempts. How do I get rid of this stupid popup. I WILL NOT ALLOW A THIRD PARTY TO ACCESS OR STORE.
Adobe people, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING by making this a part of your perfectly good program? This is not something you make the public aware of before downloading.......shame on you.
PLEASE GIVE ME OPTIONS FOR REMOVAL IMMEDIATELY!

You're infected with adware.
It didn't come from Adobe but it DOES use Flash Player to run the popups.
There are literally millions of fake "Flash Player Updates" out there, and you most likely got one. It installed the adware with it.
You'll need to run a throrugh system scan to remove the offending software, and afterward, ONLY update Adobe software from this site, to prevent a reoccurrance.

Losing internet connection after Flash Player update.

Recently, I suffered from a Fake Flash Player infection involving the Adobooaan hijacker malware. I had great difficulty getting rid of it and in the end resorted to using Spyhunter and then hand-deleting the things it came up with.
[Yes, I know Spyhunter is semi-malware itself, eats cpu space and and keeps popping up every half hour demanding payment, but I have it on a leash. I used AVG PC Tuner to set Spyhunter so it runs only when specifically told to, and then switches off when I've finished with it.]
Using Spyhunter in this way got rid of the Fake Flash Player hijacker when MalwareBytes, Spybot and Adware-Removal-Tool had all failed, but one of the side effects was that I had to re-nstall, or at least partially re-install, the real Flash Player. Now, I keep losing my internet connection, and it appears to be happening when I get a "The Adobe Flash Player Update Service service entered the stopped state." system event.
The outage affects all browsers, and only access to web pages online. I can still get emails, and open web-pages which are on my own PC, but I lose access to all online pages. The only cure for it seems to be to re-boot my router by switching it off for a minute, yet my PC's connection to the router seems to be sound, and my ISP's tech team say the router looks fine from their end.
Spyhunter is a bit over-enthusiastic - it identified a legitimate TextBridge file as a malware of the same name, e.g., so I'm wondering whether in removing the Fake Flash Player infection I've accidentally deleted some legitimate Adobe Flash Player file or cookie, causing Flash Player to switch off my internet connection at the end of every update check. But if so, how do I fix it? Is there some way of getting into Flash Player to set options? It doiesn't seem to have an icon or to appear in the programs list as something you can get at and twiddle with.

Yep, I've got the exact same problem. I'm using a PowerMac G4, running 10.4.5 (I think). I can't say the problem started happening, since I just started using the sleep function (computer generates a lot of heat in my apartment in the summertime!).
But yea, I sleep it using the HW button, and bring it back, and no internet connection. I'm not sure if it's the computer (SW caused) or the ISP (disconnects if the computer doesn't respond to pinging). I am using Comcast cable Internet, which is DHCP me thinks.

How do we verify/validate that a Flash player update is legitimate?

Is there a method for ensuring that one down;oads and installs only legitimate Flash Player updates? For that matter, any Adobe update?

What characteristics/attributes would one look form to acquire said trust?
That's a loaded question simply because of the most obvious answer, which would be "Look for the Adobe® logo".
Problem is: there are THOUSANDS of fake sites and even more fake download "popups" with illegally used Adobe® logos in them.
You'll see legitimate "notifications" on booting up if there's an update available. The Adobe Application Manager and Adobe Updater use system date & time to notify you when an update is available. Reader and Flash Player have "scheduled" update implimentation coded into the install. These update notifications will happen when you're not online, and will appear on your desktop with a "charcoal & red" themed window, and in the case of Reader, a system tray icon as well.
ANY legitimate online Flash Player update notification will appear in lieu of Flash content in a reputable site (YouTube, CNN, etc.) and will contain a "hoverable" link that will show in your browser's status bar as "http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/". ANY link that points anywhere other than that should not be trusted... at all, even if it has "adobe" in the url. Many fakes will add those five letters to their fake download url to fool people. They'll also use words like "WARNING" and "BEWARE" which Adobe doesn't use.
A legitimate update doesn't need to, and WON'T, "scare you into downloading it". They also offer things like "Flash Player Pro" (which doesn't exist), or a version number that hasn't been released yet. A simple right click on ANY flash content will pop up a menu and "About Flash Player" in that menu will tell you what version you're currently running.
If you see something that doesn't look right, like "13.3.1.182" available, when you have a current version that's 13.0.0.182... don't trust it. Flash Player doesn't jump that far that fast.
That's why I say discretion is best. I know several people who will click on a link just because it pops up. A few of them are clients and it's gotten to the point that I no longer feel bad about charging them $80 for 10 minutes time to clean up a mess they've made because I've warned them repeatedly NOT TO CLICK things when they don't know what they are or where they came from or where they lead. I/T managers have to lock systems down to keep employees from doing that or they'd be fixing their systems 24/7. Not so easy with personal computers, especially if kids use them.

Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are

I get following message:
Adobe® Flash® Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
How can I solve this?

People,
Listen. This service is, has been and seemingly will be: FREE. So while emotions are running on the hot side of the guage, let's remember; it is FREE. Adobe owes no one anything. Now who's to blame, really? We, the people are to blame. Why? Because everyone has been ok with the fact that one company essentially designed and released a technology for streaming from the net. One company. And almost all of us are using this one company's technology to stream; for FREE.
But now we are not ok with it when, after we are prompted to update, we have the issue of it not working? We all never saw the ridiculously high potential for this one company to screw things up, intentionally or otherwise? What the ramifications, that we are now experiencing, might be? Nah, we just took it for granted that we would continue to be served. Well the serve came, everyone. Mistake or otherwise.
It's like this country [US], up until four-years ago. Everyone was either running around with snow shovels and hefty garbage bags to gather all the money they were making or sailing the seas of expectation and an, 'I am out there to get mine' attitude, and then the sh*t hits the fan and now people are complaining? About the very system until four years ago was spoon feeding them poolside with mai-tai's? While it was crushing everyone else in the known world?
No doubt it seems incredulous that a multi-billion dollar company has an IT department that would include in an update, for their own software, that would be inconducive to working. No doubt. But keep in mind: we are all either using browsers by Apple or MS. Anything happens to these browsers, including a virus or anything else that threatens our use of them and...?
So climb off the haughty, 'I deserve' crap and walk on the solid ground of trying to resolve this issue here at Adobe and around the net. If we were to band together, as the 99%, we could solve this, no problem. But then that holds true with resolving this fictitious economic downturn nonsense, that we solidly take for truth at face value, because our mainstream media says so. But no other species on this rock flying through space would know what the f*ck we were talking about.

Flash Player Update disables "restore all windows from last session" in Safari on Mac

I am on Mac OS 10.9.5, using safari 7.1.2. Adobe Flash Player Update loses all safari windows when after update the installer automatically opens safari and just opens flash player website; the "restore all windows from last session" is grayed out in history. The "reopen last closed window" is also grayed out. It has been happening ever since and happened again when I just installed Flash Player ver 16.0.0.257.
For all other normal working situation I can close safari and reopen and see that I can "restore all windows from last session" and there is no problem. But on flash Player install (set on manual install), the problem is annoying and costs me a lot of time to restore one by one from history. I do not think this is a Mac or a Safari issue, but will update to Mac Yosemite help if Adobe Flash Player is updated differently in that setup?
Please help.

Update: I called adobe flash player technical support phone number 1 877-587-1877. They want $59 (warranty only 6 months) to fix this problem as they use a third party to solve this issue; they themselves provide no support. Or buy the paid version. They insist it is my network issue which I absolutely can not believe.
It is adobe Flash player update that forces reopening of safari and wracks the safari losing all windows from last session. That is not my network. Adobe does not have a proper safari compatible flash player update.
Besides, this is a known problem at Adobe and they are not fixing it and want money to fix it one person at a time! They also shared that 25% to 30% of the installations have this problem... wow!! and they still will not fix it in a general update! I wonder if safari has a plug in update that can fix this?

How do I install adobe flash player update

I've downloaded the adobe flash player update. It says thank you, here are some more products I might like, such as photo shop etc. I don't want them.
But I still can't play videos on youtube etc.

First uninstall all previous versions of flash player by using Flash Player Uninstaller then install Adobe Flash Player Software.

Running without Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task

I'm trying to understand how to avoid installing Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task.
I am also unable to remove the Scheduled Task using a script that works on other tasks, on the same workstations.
Is there an mms.cfg setting that will instruct the installer to skip the Task?
1) Uninstall the Scheduled Task from all workstations in my environment.
2) Install future updates without the Scheduled Task.
I have already tried mm.cfg with these lines:
AutoUpdateDisable=1
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
It still runs the update process every hour.
I have explained that it hasn't been causing a problem, but running this many processes on so many computers for no reason is causing some concern.
My organization also does not allow big bang automation included with this product.
Has anyone managed to shut off the Updater process from running?
Thank you

Hi Ethan,
try creating an MST file, with Fx, Wise package studio...
Edit the CustomAction “NewCustomAction1” added the parameter “-au 2” to the Command line argument.
you should do that for both:
install_flash_player_11_active_x.msi
and
install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi
If you are using both of them..
Or you can delete the scheduled task with schtask /delete "taskname"

Help needed installing Flash Player Update on Mac

I am trying to install a flash player update on Mac - right now the one site I'm trying to use says flash is out of date. Will not accept my adobe password, reset it through the adobe site and still will not work. Tried Chat help and agent said to reset password through the Apple screen. When I try that it asks for apple id and password but there is only a place for the password. Any suggestions.

Hi,
This is the OS (Apple) prompting for the password, not Flash Player, therefore, the password is your Apple password, not Adobe ID password. Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

Error: Flash Player "Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem ..."

I get the following message as soon as I boot up my PC:
"Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
According to Adobe, this is the first time they've heard of this issue.

Unchecking auto updates does not stop the message for me.
Sorry to hear that too. I actually recommended this to a few friends who were having the same issue, and it worked for them.
But, I'm wondering.... Have you tried disabling the check for updates settings in both the (Window's Control Panel's) Global settings manager and the (online) Global Notifications Settings panel? (That's the one on this page -- http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l ) On that page, click on the "Globe with the Check Mark" tab and make sure that the box is blank.
Hope this helps.

Download the offline installer:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

I can't download/install Adobe Flash Player update version 11.7.700.169.

I have tried several times to download and install Adobe Flash Player update version 11.7.700.169 without success. My OS is Windows XP with SP3 and my web browser is Internet Explorer. My current Adobe Flash Player version is 11.6.602.180. In the Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player IE window I unchecked the checkbox "Yes, install Chrome as my default browser and Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer - optional" and clicked [UpdateNow]. Then I followed the installation instuctions. When I tried to run the installer I got an Internet Explorer Script Error dialog box.
I then clicked yes on the Scrippt Error dialog box and it closed. The new version did not install. I still have the old version.
What am I doing wrong?

Download and run the offline installer(s) from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the heading Progress bar hangs...).
