\"WARNING!<\/p>\n

Are you getting warning messages saying:<\/p>\n

“WARNING! Current version of Adobe Flash Player is outdated! Your computer is vulnerable to malware. Update your Adobe Flash Player now.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If that is the case, you might have some potentially unwanted software on your machine, typically adware. I got lots of these “Adobe Flash Player is Outdated<\/strong>” messages while I was testing a download on my lab machine, a download that I new bundled lots of software. I was using Mozilla Firefox, but I think these warning can appear if you are browsing with Google Chrome or Microsoft Internet Explorer as well.<\/p>\n

And obviously, these “Flash Player is outdated” messages are just fake. When clicking on the OK button, you will get a download that is detected by many of the anti-virus programs. If you want to download or update the Flash Player. Go to the official Adobe site. Trust nothing else for Flash downloads.<\/p>\n

The “Current version of Adobe Flash Player is outdated<\/strong>” warning messages appears to be hosted on a web site called update-for-pc-1024.com<\/strong>. Did you also see the warning message on this site?<\/p>\n

\"update-for-pc-1024.com<\/a><\/p>\n

So, if you’d like to get rid of these warning messages, and you have some adware on your machine like me, you need to gets your hands dirty. I had\u00a0lots of them. Salus<\/a>, MyBestOffers<\/a>, WordProser<\/a>, PriceHorse<\/a>, etc, etc. Some of them could be uninstalled from the Windows Control Panel, but there\u00a0remained some processes running. To deal with those, I’d recommend a scan with the freeware tool FreeFixer<\/a> that I’m developing.<\/p>\n

Thank you for reading. Hope this helped you with the removal.<\/p>\n
