How Do I Stop Adobe Flash Player Pop-up Box?

I keep having the a box come up any time I click a link or move to another web page that says the following:
This program will open outside of protected mode. Internet Explorer's protected mode helps protect your computer. If you do not trust this website do not open this program.
I did have internet explorer 8, but in trying to fix this issue have updated to ie 9.
I have also uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it.

Thanks. There could be a couple of reasons that it has been triggered. Possibly when you uninstalled IE8 and went to IE9; Win7 had a Service Pack update, any IE updates. This June 14, Windows had updates for all versions of IE. All I know is that it is a feature of the Operating System and is applied via IE.
Take a look at this Win7 that explains the UAC(User Account Control). With Vista, the UAC could only be turned ON or OFF.
With Win7, various Settings were added according to the user's choice. I'm not sure, but I think once you allow a website, you don't have to do it again. I'd have to refer to my notes since I don't use Win7.

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.

How do I stop Adobe Flash Player from crashing my computer whenever I play a flash video using Mozilla?

Whenever I try to play a flash video my PC completely crashes or freezes.

If Flash videos actually crash your entire computer, rather than causing [[The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed]] notice, try this:
Turn off hardware acceleration in your Flash Player display settings (Right-click on any Flash video, click "Settings", select the Display tab and uncheck “Enable hardware acceleration".

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.

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 updates creates horizonal lines on my monitor. How do I delete adobe flash player?

Adobe Flash Player updates create horizonal lines on my monitor. How do I delete Adobe Flash Player?

if you reboot and the line is there before you login it's not flash
but more likely an hardware issue
people like to see patterns so they seek them out but that can at times result in
a random hardware failure being tied to whatever the user was doing when it happened
like "tripple clicking in mail caused a loud pop and smoking raising from my imac"
but anyway this is how you uninstall flash

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.

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.

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place? If so, how can I disable it or get Adobe Flash Player?

That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)

How can I use adobe flash player on iPad 2?

You cannot. Adobe does not make it for ipad.
This has been discussed over and over and over and over and over and over again on these forums. Please do a forums search - right side of this page.
There is no need to add yet another thread on this very tired subject.
Adobe has announces d that they are selling a platforms that will allow ipad users to view flash content. This is nothing that users will have. The developer of the video will have to do this.

How do I add adobe flash player to my Ipad

You can't, it's not supported on any iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Apps such as Skyfire claim to support flash, but their reviews are mixed. Some websites (especially news sites) have their own apps in the App Store, so you could check to see if your favourite(s) have apps.

How do I install Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.45.2 when I have the 10.0.42.34 ?

Do I have to manually uninstall 10.42.34? Then download 10.0.45.2?
Or if I just go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download version 10.0.45.2 will remove the older version?
It confuses me because on this page
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#Uninstall%20previous
it says that "
Before you install Flash Player for any Windows browser, uninstall all previous versions and restart your computer. For instructions on removing the player, please see "How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control" (TechNote tn_14157)."
then gives you this to run
Windows: uninstall_flash_player.exe
so do I need to use this uninstaller first? Then reboot, the install the new version?

Theoretically, updating to the latest Flash Player should remove all previous versions. However, that does not always work. I often find old OCX files in people's systems.
I always use the uninstaller, reboot if there are any files left in the Flash folder, then install the latest version. Never had any problem with this method on any of my machines.
