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:
"Adobe Flash Player Settings
Local Storage
l.yimg.com is requesting permission to
store information on your computer.
Requested up to: 10KB

icon of 'folder'.   icon stating 'Allow'.    icon stating 'Deny'. "
How do I remove this Adobe pop window???

http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l
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 do I remove the adobe flash player out of the way in order to watch videos?

    Ok ..I am a disabled vet at 100% from the beirut bombing of October of 83. The VA bought me this computer in 2010 and i never owned one before. I didn't own a cell phone until 2006.   I am using Safari and want to play on an on-line golf site and a box appears (in the middle of the screen where I would log in as well as other sites whenever there is a video to watch) and I can't either *allow or *deny it. I never had this problem before when I had Google chrome. Somebody help.Please.

    In System Preferences>Flash Player>Storage tab, select 'Allow sites to save information on this computer'.
    If you are still having problems, review your plugin settings in Safari>Preferences>Security tab, make sure 'Internet Plugins' is ticked, then click on the 'Manage Website Settings' button, select Adobe Flash on the left and from the drop down menu you can manage how Flash interacts with certain sites.

  • Adobe Flash Player Pop up window issue!

    Please Help!!! Ive had to uninstall & install this program several times due to an annoying pop up window from Internet Exployer Security saying "A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer." Each time I click on allow it continues to pop up several more times then goes away, but then continues to appear again, and again. Please help me to resolve this issue. Thank you.

    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.

  • 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.

    Software is always safest directly from the developer or the App Store.
    There are numerous untrustworthy 'update' sites like Cnet & Softonic, & many users won't know that one is to be trusted (so far) but not most of the others.
    Adobe make Flash Player : get it from Adobe.

    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.

  • 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

  • On 12/23/11 I update the adobe flash player and have had problems since- unexpected closing and freezing. Remove the adobe flash player and those problems resolved. How do I go back to the earlier version of adobe?

    I was prompted by Firefox to update my adobe flash player on 12/23/11, which I did. Ever since then the web site has frozen and/or crashed. I run a internet business and can't have this continue. I uninstalled the flash player and the problems have stopped. I would like to reinstall the earlier version of adobe, since that didn't seem to impact the web site.
    This is the flash player I installed on the 23rd - Flash Player 10.3 for Mac OS X 10.4-10.5 (Intel)

    Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />
    See [[Managing the Flash plugin]] and [[Installing the Flash plugin]]
    You can check the Adobe welcome and test page: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

  • How do I get the Adobe Flash Player 10 to Work (Windows XP SP3)?

    I am a Premiere Elements user who occasionally exports the Timeline to Adobe Flash Video (.flv). And, occasionally I convert the .flv export to .swf with a free .flv to .swf converter. An installed Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 successfully plays back the .swf, and an installed Adobe Media Player 1.7 successfully plays back the .flv.
    Right or wrong I got the idea that the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 was really a very old version of what is now the Adobe Flash Player. So, I decided it was time to update the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 to Adobe Flash Player 10. At this point, I have the following installed on my Windows XP SP3 computer via Adobe downloads:
    Adobe Flash player 10 Active X
    Adobe Flash player 10
    Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5
    The Adobe web site verification tells me that as well as the computer Control Panel Add/Remove program list.
    But, no matter what I do, .flv insists on opening only with the Adobe Media Player 1.7 and the .swf only with the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0.
    I have tried
    a. browsing to another Open With choice
    b. changing file association in folder options as well as a few uninstalls/reinstalls and have been unsuccessful in these attempts. At one point I thought that maybe uninstalling the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 would be an approach, but I cannot find it to uninstall it. I have looked in Program Files, Documents and Settings/Application Data, Local Drive/Windows/System32, tried the computer Search...all with no luck. My browsers are Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 2.0.0.20. The default browser is Firefox and all the appropriate "allows" are in place.
    If anyone could point out the errors of my ways, I would appreciate it.
    ATR

    I have resolved the issues presented without having to find and uninstall the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 in order to get "Adobe Flash Player 10" playback of .swf files on my computer. When I begin this task, I expected to download an "Adobe Flash Player 10" as a player program download instead of the Internet Explorer and Firefox plugin that it appears to be.
    This is what I did and what I believe I have:
    1. I setup Internet Explorer 6 as my default browser and then used the following site to download Adobe Flash Player 10
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
    2. As I had done before (and also suggested in another thread here), I went to Tools/Manage Add Ons and found Shockwave Flash Object, highlighted it, and clicked on Update Active X. Next, what I did not do before, I restarted the computer immediately after that.
    3. Next, I set Mozilla Firefox as my default browser and then used the above site to download Adobe Flash Player 10 again.
    4. With Firefox, the critical step included Firefox Tools/Options/Content with File Types (Configure how Firefox handles certain types of files) and the Manage Tab there. SWF Shockware Flash Object/Change Action/and dotting "use this plugin" - Shockwave Flash, followed by a computer restart got the job done.
    Now, if I want playback of a .swf file, I can
    a. Open With Internet Explorer (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
    b. Open With Mozilla Firefox (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
    c. Open With Macromedia Flash Player 8.0
    I am satisfied with those results for my use. Any additional comments on the player vs plugin aspect of the matter would be interesting and helpful.

  • How to zoom in with Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.77

    I like to play a game on Neopets called Destruct-O-Match.  Until two days ago, I could zoom in on the game (make it bigger) by right clicking with my mouse.  Now that option no longer exists, so the game is too small to see comfortably.  How do I zoom in and make the game big enough to enjoy using Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.77?

    Thanks Mike, but I already did that.  Until two days ago, I would maximize
    the screen using Control +, but the game would still be small, so then I
    would zoom in with a right click of the mouse.  However, apparently there is
    a new version of Flash Player, 12.0.0.77, and there¹s no option of zooming
    in by right clicking.
    I figured out how to make the game bigger by reducing the resolution of my
    computer, but I can¹t play long because it makes me dizzy.

  • Safari: How view video clips without Adobe Flash Player?

    In OS 10.7.2 and with Safari 5.1.2 or Firefox 8.x  how does one view video without installing Adobe Flash Player?  On such websites as that of the New York Tines, I get a "Your System Status" dialogue box that says: "We're sorry!  You need to update your Flash Player."  A link appears in the dialogue box to "Get Adobe Flash Player."   What options does one have?
    Thanks for considering my question.
    Respectfully, NormN

    Macs now do not ship with Adobe Flash installed. Did you buy your Mac with Lion or is your Mac the previous generation?  You have to do the installation yourself.  Click Get Adobe flash player.
