Uninstall Adobe Flash Player?
« on: March 04, 2021, 01:32:23 PM »
Hi, everyone! I got a pop up box on my computer about blocking Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning Jan of this year.  The box told me (lol) that it recommends immediately removing Flash player by clicking the Uninstall button below.

Ok, y'all know me.  Do I press the Uninstall button? I don't even know how Flash Player works or what it does or if I need it.

Thanks!
Smiles,

Do not click the Uninstall button. Instead, go to Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS, the official uninstaller from Adobe.

And then UN-install that garbage app. You may not even have it installed any more. We were asking everyone to uninstall anything with “Flash” in its name over a year ago!! :yes:
