Question

Adobe Flash Uninstaller

I have a powermac 2014.  Recently, I have been getting downloads to uninstall Adobe Flash.  My Flash is the current version.  These downloads are occurring several times a day.

Is this malware?  Why is this happening?

Not certain this is the right forum but unable to find anything related to Flash.

    Hi,

    It most likely is malware.  Can you please post a screenshot? See How to take a screenshot on your Mac - Apple Support

    What OS X version is this on?

    Thank you.

    I left the adobe uninstaller on my desktop for future reference just in case I was asked as you did for a screen shot.

    It has disappeared from my desktop and it is not in my trash. This always happens. It disappears.

    When I am reading various news sites, what appears to be a letigimate Adobe icon appears with the Adobe uninstaller within the window. I never download it but it appears on my desktop anyway. I have never opened it since I do not wish to uninstall Adobe.

    I am running Sierra 10.12.5. The next time it appears again, I will immediately take a screen shot. I suspected it might be malware and it appears you think the same.

    Thank-you for your reply. I will keep you posted.
