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? 

Ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player, and include browser and OS version details

    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 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.

    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.

  • "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.

  • Why do I keep getting a warning "We noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window. Click OK to reload your page." Annoying message?

    Each time I go back to my.yahoo.com, why does it keep getting a warning "We noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window. Click OK to reload your page." message?

    How about the cookies for that domain - did you delete those cookies?
    "Keep me logged in for ..... weeks/days" is usually done via setting a cookie in the browser so the website recognizes the browser when you return and automatically logs the user in to the website via that cookie.
    It seems that some websites have a problem recognizing the "remember me" cookie after a Firefox update, and the user need to set a new cookie with the updated version of Firefox so the website will recognize your preference. This particular problem with some websites not recognizing their own "remember me" cookie started like 4 years ago, shortly after Firefox 3.0 was released with an all new method of storing cookies. In the last 4 years this problem is mentioned less often as the years went by, so some websites must have fixed it at their end - where other websites evidently haven't gotten a handle on it.
    Websites really need to get involved in the various "programs" out there like Browser ID / Persona - https://login.persona.org/about - and get rid of that hokey "cookies" method of remembering the users preference for being automaticall logged in upon their return to their website.

  • Where can I get the lastest Adobe Flash Player (version 10) for my Dual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5?

    Can someone tell me how to get the lastest Adobe Flash Player (version 10) for an Apple PowerPC G5 computer with OS 10.5.8?

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
