That’s one of those little computer tips and tricks that can help you decide whether or not to trust this notification. If it doesn’t go away, that’s means that it runs in its own window, which is actually a good sign (indicating that you are probably dealing with a legitimate Adobe Flash Player update). The worst that could happen if you decide NOT to install the update is that you don’t get the latest Adobe Flash Player update installed right away, but I can guarantee you, that’s a whole lot better than getting your system infected with some kind of ransomware virus or worse.Īnother quick little tip that you can use is: close all your browser windows and see if the message that an update to Adobe Flash Player is available goes away. If you see any of those, the best thing you can do is close all your browser sessions immediately. One very obvious tell-tale that you are dealing with a fake (and dangerous) notification is when you see typos, grammar or spelling errors in the message. Depending on the version of Adobe Flash Player that you already have on your computer and also depending on the actual update that is available to you, the notification may look a bit different, but at least it should look very similar to the image above.
