Keep getting a pop up telling me that Adobe Flash is vulnerable and I should go to to htp://vaathzizaike.org to download update. I go to Firefox Tools and Add-ons and check Plugins and Adobe Flash always says it is vulnerable, but when I check it on Adobe Flash website, I have the latest version. Something doesn't seem right here. I don't trust pop-ups with funny names, and Firefox can't seem to recognize I have the latest version. Is there some explanation of what is going on?

You have the latest flash.

. Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated;

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS

While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Any time you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the website of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to https://www.mozilla.org {web link}

You can also report such a site at; Google Report Phishing Page {web link} which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery

Help us safeguard Mozilla’s trademarks by reporting misuse {web link}

Thank you for the good advice about not responding to software links and pop-ups urging you to update through them. Like the two links. Going to the source for updates is smart, and the Google phishing page is very interesting.

Always get the Flash Player Plugin from Adobe as never get it from a random site.
