[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1835959, member: 396914"] The message was not from Flash, but a spoofer who just wanted to get you to install what they wanted and needed the password to do so. Once you have flash installed and the pane in Sys Prefs, one of the options there is to automatically install, which you can check if you don't want to get any notice at all. I never did that. I don't use Flash now, but when it was installed I had it set to let me manually check. I usually let the spoofer be my trigger to go check. The spoof message would appear, I would get rid of it and then open Sys Prefs and almost invariably find that there was no update to obtain. I guess I could have blocked the spoofing with an ad blocker, but the message served as kind of a to-do reminder. Nothing like taking something bad and using it for good, eh? [/QUOTE]
