How can I stop messages (from "http://cdn.openappmedia.com") re: upgrade to Flash Player Pro? It seems like several times a day when I go to a new web page I get re-directed (hijacked?) to this "http://cdn.openappmedia.com" site telling me to "Update Your Flash Player" even though the Adobe site (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html) tells me I'm running the latest version of Flash Player (non-Pro version; I don't believe I need the Pro version for any particular reason). Anti-malware software (Norton; SUPERAntiSpyware) does not recognize the non-Adobe site as malware, but I find it extremely annoying. I'm hoping Adobe will see this as something they would like to stop, too, if they don't want to alienate their loyal customers. What should (can?) I do to make this stop?

Can you post a screenshot of such a message?

"Flash Player Pro" is not an Adobe product, and I even suspect that it is (or contains) malware.

Where do these things come from?  I don't know; either your system is infected with malware, or websites you visit are.

Can you provide a link to a site that serves these notices?

Hi Pat,

I just saw that there is an existing thread with information on this at "How can I stop the incessant ads for Flash Player Pro?" so I'll add my comments over there, as there is more info already posted in that thread.
