I opened a web page earlier that said my Adobe Flash Player was out of date and it took me to a link. After starting the download something felt strange not sure what so went to my backups and installed an backup that should of cleared anything if there was anything wrong. I have just stared up my MacBook Pro checked Adobe and its out of date there was something with the address I was taken to. Trying to find out if its ok as I found another address when I logged into Adobe. The first address is the one taken to 2nd is when I logged into adobe which is correct. The one difference in the addresses No 3. Both are without the space at .com only way I could copy them and post them

Hi,

Those are both valid URLs, from adobe.com, to update Flash Player.

Dear Mrs m_vargas

I thank you again for your help as you have helped me in the past.

I do however find it bit odd that you are the only member of staff that would know the answer as I posted my question 2 1/2 days before your answer. I would of not posted the question if I was not worried about malware or hackers. As last week in work someone got a box come up about an update and said update to find that we lost the entire data base and got a ransom to get it back we had our own backup and they got nothing. we are not sure if they just encrypted the data base or copied it as my details were on that data base I am not taking chances. Would of been nice if someone from Adobe answered my question sooner as I hope you had a good weekend.

Hi,

Malware concerns are completely valid and totally understandable. You'd be surprised at how creative some of the people who distribute fake Flash Player installers are. They go to great lengths to make their update notifications, installer UI, and fake download pages look 99% like the real thing. It's very easy for the unsuspecting person to download a fake installer, which does happen.

I do however find it bit odd that you are the only member of staff that would know the answer as I posted my question 2 1/2 days before your answer.

The majority of the staff members that participate in the Flash Player forums are on the Flash Player team. Since you posted on a Friday evening, and we mainly participate in the forums during normal business hours, in between our normal workload, there was no one around to reply until Monday.

I would think someone at Adobe might know the correct web address I am making sure as the first one my flash player took me the second I went to Adobe and found. Or has my system been hacked.

Thank you for your help.
