I keep getting "Attention! Your current version of Adobe Flash player is outdated! Your computer is vulnerable to malware now. Update your Adobe Flash player now" but I already have an updated version of adobe

It pops up randomly and won't let me click out of it. I'm certain it's malware or something like that, but I can't seem to stop it from happening. Below is a page that I'm directed to each time. I think all this started from me clicking on someone's tumblr page.
Here's another image from a different tumblr page. I'm afraid to download it because I don't know what it will do.

You should ignore it.
You should updeate only either from System > Flash Player > Check Now
or direct from Adobe site.
     Install Adobe Flash Player.

Chrome has built in Flash Player. This is bogus warning.

  • Icloud settings say i need to upgrade iphoto on my macbook, but i already have the latest version.

    i have a 4S and macbook pro running together on my network.  im able to sync via wifi, and i'm pretty sure my phone is sending things to icloud, but i can't activate photo stream on the macbook.  when i try to turn it on in icloud settings, the option is disabled and i get a message saying install the latest version of iphoto.  when i try to buy it from the app store, it says i already have the latest version.  help?

    Would checking the "copy to iPhoto" box and then reimporting do it or will I end up with two copies of the same photos?
    You'll end up with two copies and only one will have Faces attached.
    The external drive is a MyBookLive, which my Mac says is formatted for Mac. It doesn't seem to be creating any issues.
    What does Disk Utility report the format as?
    As I'm using a MacBook Air that doesn't have an ethernet connection, I have no choice but to import over my wireless network.
    A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
    My biggest issue at the moment is how do I copy the photos into iPhoto without having to start the process all over again.
    Worth a try:
    Check the box at the iPhoto Preferences: then
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • Every day we get this request to upgrade firefox but we already have the latest version/

    we`ve just upgraded firefox to 6.02 version, still we get this remark to upgrade again to the latest version. When I start downloading this I get the question whether I want to replace the already installed version with the same one?

  • I subscribed to Adobe Acrobat Pro but it is telling me to install.  I already have the trial version for another 3 days.  Do I have to install it again?

    I subscribed to Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.  I have the trial version for another 3 days.  The e-mail confirming the subscription said to install it, but I already have the trial version. Do I have to install it again?

    Hello,
    No, you don't need to re-install the Acrobat again. Just license it when the next time trial prompt appears. The moment you put your email on which you have purchased the subscription, it will get activated.

  • Apple update keeps telling me I need Bonjour installed but, fails to install. when I Download and install manually I get the massage that I already have a later version. How do I get apple to recognize its already there?

    Apple update keeps telling me new software is available "Bonjour for Windows 1.0.6" When I try to install it, it fails. When I manually download and install I get the message I already have a later version. How do I get apple to recognize it's already there?

    When I manually download and install I get the message I already have a later version.
    Doublechecking before proceeding. Do you also get that message if you try to install the most recent version of Bonjour?
    (There's a few different possibilities afoot relating to damaged installation configuration information for Bonjour on the PC here ... fingers crossed, the answer to my question will help narrow down the possibilities.)

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    Hey SDGardella,

    This alert occurs due to security software. Follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

  • I can not get several apps to load on my i-pod touch and I even restored it back to factory.  The message I get is that I need iOS 4.3, but i-tunes tells me I already have the latest version.

    I can not get several apps to load on my i-pod touch and I even restored it back to factory.  The message I get is that I need iOS 4.3, but i-tunes tells me I already have the latest version.

    You can't install any application which requires iOS 4.3 or newer on a first or second generation iPod touch. If you still have a copy of that application compatible with iOS 3.1.3 or 4.2.1, import it into the iTunes library and sync it.

  • How do i fix the problem of my mac opening ADOBE files if i already have an updated version ADOBE installed?

    I need to know how can I successfully send Adobe files to my self from Windows through my emails and trying to open them on my Mac.

    Just picked up a new computer which has a lot more RAM than my old computer bu I keep getting low memory errors. Never had this issue on my old computer, any ideas?

    Windows or Mac?  (If the former, I can't be of any help.)  Exact version of your OS?
    How much available disk space?  Do you have a separate hard drive for Photoshop's scratch file?

    What version of iTunes is on the Mac?
    What OSX version is on the Mac?
    The 5G iPod requires iTunes 10.7 or later and that requires OSX 10.6.8 or later.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Website says I need latest version but I already have...

    Hello everyone I've got a bit of a problem with watching video's on a website..
    The website, or more specifically the video on the website, says I need to download a newer version (10 or higher) of Adobe Flashplayer in order to watch.
    But the thing is I already HAVE the latest version 11 (I'm sure of this, saw it on the Adobe website and it was active, version 11 etc.)
    and I can see it in the list in my Internet Explorer as well so Internet Explorer itself seems aware I already have the latest version...
    So I think this website somehow doesn't "know" or "see" that I've got flashplayer, maybe flashplayer isn't "switched on" or sth in my internet browser is blocking flashplayer or maybe the website?
    I have no idea where to start searching since I'm not familiar with actively using flashplayer.
    I don't even know how to enter the program however I've checked some settings via the Settings manager (which I saw and could access via the Adobe website) but somehow this video website, which I visit frequently, is not in the list of "visited websites" there..:S Can I somehow add a website to this list? Or is this "settings manager" via the Adobe website not the answer to my problem?
    I've also read about some ppl who use an "Active X box" of some sort, I have no idea where to look for that, could that help me change my flashplayer settings?
    The weirdest thing of all of this is: I watched a video on the same website only yesterday, which also required flashplayer, and somehow that worked... I checked the exact same video today: it didn't work! So somehow something must've changed since yesterday, only explanation I can think of... So that's what got me thinking it's some sort of setting or sth that's switched off in the flashplayer program itself...
    Srr if this message is kinda long but I've got no idea what's causing it, so I'm trying to give as much info as I can here
    I'd really appreciate the help! Getting kinda desperate here...

    "ActiveX" is a 20 year old technology used by Microsoft (and ONLY by Microsoft anymore) to enable content in Internet Exploder.
    Setting Flash Player storage by site is simple:
    Right click ANY Flash content.
    Select "Global Settings"... your Flash Player settings will open (Control Panel).
    Under the Storage tab, click "Local Storage Settings by Site".
    Click "Add...".
    Type (or paste) the web address of the site you need to allow, and choose "Allow" from the dropdown menu at the right.
    Click "Add" and close the window.
    If you need to reinstall:
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one of the following links ans selecting "Save target as" (IE) or "Save Link as" (Firefox).
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save the file(s) to your downloads folder - DO NOT RUN anything yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE opening anything else, run the installer(s) from your downloads folder.
