Flash Player Pop up's

why does flash player keep popping up on my computer screen in the middle of my work

Something is accessing (or attempting to access) Flash content, then.
AOL (I used to work for them - it's garbage software and you DON'T need it) uses a LOT of Flash content for things like toolbar animations, and they "rotate content" all day and night on their homepage, so every time their server reloads or refreshes a page that requires a newer version than you have, the install popup will appear.
There are two ways to resolve this:
1. Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save Target as".
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Save it to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it yet!
Reboot your system.
BEFORE you open ANYTHING ELSE, locate and run the installer.
2. Stop using and UNINSTALL the AOL software that you don't need under any circumstances, because it does NOTHING that can't be done with Internet Explorer, or Firefox and the AOL website. Seriously, it's just about 700 Mb of unnecessary "bloatware".

Why does the Adobe Flash Player pop up keep on appearing when using the browser. It never used to before the upgrade to the latest version.

Since updating to the latest version of Firefox the Adobe Flash player pop up continually pops up whether the page needs flash player or not. It even shows for a text page.
It is very annoying

You can set the default in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" and change that for the Shockwave Flash plugin to "Always Activate".
You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
*Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
*Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
*Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab

Adobe Flash Player Pop Up when going to Internet Explorer

I am continuously getting an Adobe Flash Player pop up when going to Internet Explorer. It says "A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer". This program will open outside protected mode etc. etc. If you do not trust this site do not open. This pops up every second. Is this a virus and if so how do I get rid of it?
SKB

My level is at Medium High. I unchecked the “Enable Protected Mode”. Is this safe? The pop up is no longer popping up.

Adobe Flash Player pop-up screens are blocking correct operation of IE

As soon as I start up Internet Explorer, Flash Player pop-up screens start appearing. After selecting the No-button it disappears and re-appears again and so on. Finally a request for an installation permit screen pops-up and IE is switched off and restarting again. Is there something I can do?

Sorry Pat,
I first tried another option, removing and re-installing Flash Player, and
that solved my problem so far. I am not able to send you screen views as
they don't appear any more this moment.
Thanks for your effort

Adobe Flash Player pop-up, how do I get rid of it forever?

Ho do I rid my computer of the Adobe Flash Player pop-up?

I'm going to make an assumption based on scarce information.
The update alerts are fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they're almost certainly 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 those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked, but you should assume that the router is at fault until proven otherwise.
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 the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
Then go through the router's 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. Most do.
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. Save the password in your keychain. Any password that you can remember is weak.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different 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.
Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

Hi glennc49009213,
Can You please attach a screenshot [ How to post a screenshot in the forum ], followed by the steps you are performing while uninstalling Flash Player? As the Uninstaller we provide is a universal uninstaller, which works on both 32-bit and 64-bit Win-OS and should not prompt any user in either of the cases.

Flash player pop up window

can't get rid of flash player pop window asking me to
download flash player. The widow comes up constantly and clicking
on the no tab does not work. Trying to download does not
work.

Thanks Mike M....again. I will try anything at this point. These constant pop-ups are frustrating. I may have to breakdown & have my laptop looked at by a professional to see if they can recommend other options & possibly upgrading.

Flash Player pops up on every website I search using Explorer

About a week ago, every time I opened Explorer, a box appeared from Internet Explorer Security stating "a website wants to open web content using this program (Adobe Flash Player), on your computer. Allow or Not Allow". Doesn't matter if I allow, not allow or just click on the red X to close out, the box continues to reappear.
I have uninstalled all Adobe programs and reinstalled them after disabling my Antivirus and Firewall settings. After installations were complete I enabled my settings again and ran a scan on the new programs. This did not solve the problems as said box continues to reappear. I have also had Adobe Shockwave Player do the same thing. I also attempted to restore to an earlier time of 2 weeks before this problem started but my computer would not allow me to restore back to that point. I am also not able to download videos using my realplayer or windows media player, which I 'assume' requires the Adobe features. Can you please help? Thank you.

Hi Pat,
Thank you for your response. I checked Explorer and my setting is at medium high, just as it has always been. I have disabled all of my add-ons and now don’t have the problem of the boxes continually popping up but now I am unable to download videos and music. Could it be that Explorer is corrupt and should I reinstall it? How do I uninstall it? Appreciate your help.

Facebook video cannot click adobe flash player pop up

When recording a facebook video on a friend's wall, an adobe flash player message pops up asking if I allow facebook.com to have access to my camera and microphone, with the options of allow or deny. In order to record a video, I must hit allow, but I am unable to click anything at all. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? I read a few forums from 1-2 years ago where people had the same issue, but no one had a solution. Can anyone help?

FOUND A SOLUTION FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM:
Note the following workaround (far from sufficient for customers, but good enough for feature development): Go to System Preferences > Flash Player > Camera and Mic > Camera and Microphone Settings by Site... Find the site you want to allow and change "Ask me" to "Allow". This bypasses the dialog and allows recording to proceed normally.
this seems to be a common problem with lion and adobe. i did this and it fixed my problem!

How do I remove an Adobe Flash Player pop up window?

While accessing a Yahoo home page news video an Adobe pop up window blocked the central portion of a video.
The pop up window states:

Websites might occasionally want to store information, such as your high score from a game that runs in Flash Player or what products you have purchased, to your computer. In the Global Storage Settings panel, you can control how much disk space websites can use to store information, or you can prohibit websites from storing any information at all. (If you prohibit websites from storing information, the website might or might not function as intended.)
Use this panel to specify the default storage settings for websites that you haven't yet visited. (To change settings for websites you have already visited, use the Website Storage Settings panel.) The following list explains the storage options:
If you don't want to let applications from any website save information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, select Never Ask Again. This action doesn't delete any information that is already stored. (To delete existing information, use the Delete options in the Website Storage Settings panel.)
If you want to decide on a case-by-case basis whether applications from a website can save information on your computer, move the slider to the far left (None). Each time an application wants to save information on your computer, you will be asked for more disk space.
If you want to let applications from any website save as much information on your computer as they need to, move the slider to the far right (Unlimited).
If you want to let applications from any website save information on your computer, but want to limit the amount of disk space they can use, move the slider to select 10 KB, 100 KB, 1 MB, or 10 MB. If an application needs more space than you have allotted, you will be asked for more disk space while the application is running.
(Flash Player 8 and later) If you do not want to let third-party content store information on your computer, deselect Allow Third-Party Content To Store Data On Your Computer.
When you visit a website, the address shown in the browser address bar is usually where most of the website is located. For example, if you visit a fictional website www.[hotel].com, most of the website is located at www.[hotel].com. Sometimes, websites combine content from different sources. For example, www.[hotel].com might display a reservations form in Flash that actually comes from [reservations.hotel].com. The content from the latter website is called third-party content.
Third-party content might try to store information on your computer. In the hotel reservations example, you might be willing to let [reservations.hotel].com store information on your computer, such as data about which hotels you prefer, so that you can make a hotel reservation. However, you might not be willing to let third-party content store information on your computer in other situations. For example, a car-rental company, www.[my-car-rental].com, might have a banner ad on www.[hotel].com, to track your website usage or to record your preferences.
To prohibit all third parties from storing information on your computer, deselect Allow Third-Party Content To Store Data On Your Computer. This option is available only with Flash Player 8 and later. Adobe recommends that you upgrade to the most recent version of Flash Player available.
(Flash Player 9.0.115.0 and later) If you do not want to store Flash components on your computer, deselect Store Common Flash Components To Reduce Download Times.
Flash Player lets you store common or shared SWF and FLV files and other components from different websites on your computer to significantly reduce download times and allow faster viewing. For example, www.[hotel].com and [reservations.hotel].com might both use the same Adobe components on their sites.
For an overview of issues related to storage, see What are storage settings? in the discussion of the Settings Manager.

How is one to safely deal with the "Update Adobe Flash Player" Pop-Up?

Good computer security practice would be to *not* click on anything in the unexpected pop-up, but instead close that window and then either:
Go to the Adobe site and download the "Update" from there -- but the site never offers "updates", it just offers downloads of the product.
Open the cited application on one's computer and use its "update" process -- but I can never find the most recent Adobe Flash Player application on my Mac. I've used Adobe's Update process multiple times in the past and the result is multiple old versions of Adobe Flash Player scattered around, but the latest version which the Adobe Flash Player test site at URL: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ says that I have is nowhere to be found. Right now, running that test on my Mac results in the feedback: "You have version 11,0,1,152 installed"
If one does click on the "INSTALL" button in the pop-up, is the Adobe "update" process which is to run supposed to just add another "new" version of Adobe Flash Player (in some non-intuitive place), or is it also to remove the older versions, or at least the most recent older version, of Adobe Flash Player?
Is there some predictable default location where Adobe Flash Player should be installed on Mac OS X?

The download does EXACTLY what the "update" does... it downloads the full new version (about 3.6mb) and OVERWRITES the older version.
In your Library/Application Support/Adobe folder (I forget just exactly where) the plug-in installs for your installed browsers. The updater overwrites the files there.

Need Flash Player Pop-up Message Suppressed in Quiet Installer

Hello Flash Player Installer Gurus,
Thank you in advance for your help.
I am launching the Adobe Flash Player 10 installer from another installer and I am running the Adobe Flash Player 10 installer in quiet mode. However, even though I am running it in quiet mode, the installer pops-up the following:
"The version of Adobe Flash Player Activex that you are trying to install is not the most current version. Please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer to obtain the latest, most secure version. | OK"
You can get this message to show up by, say, installing Flash Player 10.1, uninstalling Flash Player 10.1 and then attempting to install Flash Player 10.0.
I understand why I am getting this error message, but I'm trying to prevent this and any other error messages being shown in quiet mode. When an installer runs in quiet mode it shouldn't do stuff like this. I need a truly quiet Adobe Flash Player Installer. The fact that Adobe's Flash Player installer is not quiet is a big problem for us because the user needs to acknowledge this pop-up and we want to run our installer in unattended mode.
The command line we are using is as follows:
msiexec /i "install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi" /qn
This correctly runs the installer in quiet mode (except for the previously mentioned pop-up message I am getting).
Does anybody know how to run the Adobe Flash Player 10 installer in truly quiet mode so that the pop-up message described above does not show?
Thanks in advance,
Dencolp

Can't stop Adobe Flash Player pop up

Long story short: all of the sudden videos on youtube won't
play & some other webpages have display problems in Firefox (ok
in IE) so I try to download Adobe Flash Player but my OS (Windows
Me) isn't supported so could not install.
Problem is it won't install yet anytime I'm on a webpage
using IE (not in Firefox) I constantly get the Adobe Flash Player
Active X Setup pop up saying "You are trying to install A F P
Active X on an unsupported operating system" and I'm forced to
click OK to get rid of it & it tries to go through the
unpacking routine.
I've tried everything to get rid of this piece of crap &
nothing has worked. (BTW - youtube videos STILL won't play in
Firefox either!)

I'm not a tech person or anything and hopefully Gary will
respond to your inquiry. All I can tell you is I had the same
problem for two weeks and I tried everything, including
uninstalling and reinstalling FP10 etc. I also went on a bug hunt.
Bottom line after all that aggravation I had to do a complete
system restore because when I tried to download FP10 something was
corrupted. Wait for Gary to respond before you try anything this
drastic. Believe me I completely sympathize with you.

Flash Player pop-ups are unnecessary and annoying.

I want to know how to stop the almost constant pop-ups about downloading Flash Player.

Flash player popping up on taskbar, youtube video playing on desktop

I can not stop this problem, I have tried everything for 2 weeks. I have uninstalled re installed flash player the new version.
The Flash Player plugin application pops up as a tab on task bar on windows 7, and the youtube video pops up in the top left hand corner of my desktop and doesnt play in the browser.
I include screenshot, when I hover over the flash player plugin on the taskbar with the aero thing, it shows 3 windows, one blank 2 video windows.
There is nothing in windows logs. It does this randomly and started when I changed nothing one day it didnt do it the next day it did.
I have windows 7 X64 sp1, Firefox 22, adobe flash 11.8.800.94.
Please help and tell me how to stop this happening once and for all because it happens randomly and only on youtube and a few other flash video sites, most of them work ok like Liveleak.

Update to this, I uninstalled the latest flash player, and installed 11.1.12.55 64 bit and have no problem with either Firefox OR Internet Explorer 10 64 bit whatsoever with any video sites at all.
I could not remember the previous version I updated from to 11.8.800.94 so I had to choose an older version from the list on the older versions page.
This problem kept happening with the latest flash player all the time I could not stop it.
This version works perfectly fine on everything although Firefox gives me a warning its vulnerable and should be updated, I turned that of because of course there is nothing wrong with it at all.
I just hope it gets fixed before my version im using becomes unusable on sites.
