Hi
I just got a popup that said "Your Adobe Flash player needs to be updated".
I almost clicked on OK, (it had the Adobe logo on it) but my policy is to always go to the official site to get updates never from popups.
So I searched and picked a site that looked like the official Adobe site, except it said I have to pay $19.95 to get Flash.
I looked again for "Official Adobe Flash Player Download" and it pointed my at Softronic, I thought well that should be safe at least even if it's not Adobe.
My antivirus blocked it and said it was infected!
Finally I found the real Adobe web page, logged into my Adobe account, and found the real link to download Flash.
When I clicked on it, it said, "Your flash is up to date and Google Chrome updates flash automatically when a new version is available, it is not necessary for you to take any action".
Boy you just can't trust anything anymore, it really pays to be suspicious!
