 Azn everyone,
Just wanted to alert members that they should never download an Adobe Flash Player through any source other than the Adobe.com website.

If you are ever uncertain of a Flash Player Update it may be best to cancel the operation and navigate to http://www.adobe.com and download the update.

Why? As virus spread through fake Adobe Flash Player such as Adobe_Player11.exe downloaded from other website. Take care & safe Internet use.

tmy

 Bye

Yeah, this is a pretty common way of getting infected; many websites have a video which the user needs to download a 'codec' or 'flash player update' to watch

 Azn iisjman07
it is a problem and the thing about it all is this, "Normal" people just accept things as legit and have no  interest in checking every single click, it is something that only experience can teach and that means in  some cases learning the hard way....................just like real life really ........... Wink Take care,

tmy


 Bye
