Help! My adobe flash player is installed and up to date but when I try to use it, it says it needs an update! I've tried everything from reinstalling it again and again to fixing the settings on chrome and safari. and it says in settings it doesn't need an update. I'm so frustrated!

I use both safari and chrome and I use a mac book air.

Most browsers at this point are blocking Flash Player by default.  You'll need to activate Flash Player in the browser in addition to having a current version.

It's also the case that malware authors will often times try to impersonate legitimate update notifications in order to trick you into installing malware.

Always download Flash Player directly from Adobe, or better yet, set it to update automatically.
