It's back! When visiting the news collection site, Newser, the existing tab I am viewing is replaced with one trying to sucker me into downloading this Flash Player Pro. At the very least I consider this MALWARE. It only happens when visiting Newser and then it seems, only randomly. I can read 5-6-7 stories two times a day and nothing. Then the next day, bam a window that tries to trick me into downloading this crap. My solution at this point is to avoid Newser, but beyond reflecting poorly on them, it will not do wonders for Adobe's Flash either.

I would only install from http:/get.adobe.com/flashplayer (or another adobe.com location.) You can verify your currently installed version by visiting this page: Flash Player Version

Thanks,

Chris

There is no such thing as "Flash Player Pro"; that pop-up is obviously a fake.

Can you post a screenshot of that? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933

Popup notice to download Flash Player Pro

I keep getting the following pop-up message when I go to use something requiring the Flash Player. The message starts with text I am unable to copy. The following text is the only part of the message I was able to copy. I'm afraid to download because I wiped out a previous computer hard drive by downloading what I thought was legitimate Adobe. I seem to have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player and Google chrome purportedly updates as needed. Has anyone else received the following popup message? Is it legitimate?
