On August 9th the non-profit organization Mozilla announced that they will be launching a "fake news" fact-checking software funded by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and George Soros...

True or False, please?

Thanks, Marrett PS: You do know if this is true, you've likely lost a fan and client

False. Mozilla's actual project has nothing to do with George Soros or the project he's funding. Here's Mozilla's actual announcement, which is currently just research and education efforts. That's it.

Hi   !

Separate issue :

Your system details show that you're running a very old version of Shockwave Flash, which can cause major problems, so you really should update Adobe Flash Player.

Uninstaller : https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

Then re-install the latest version, which is 27.0.0.130

You can download te latest version from here : https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Note : some 'extras' may be offered in the download.

If you're happy with the answer that Moses gave you (and I'm assuming that you are) : Would you be a dear and mark his answer as 'Chosen Solution'  ?

Thank you in advance  !
