I am getting pop-up ads for Flash Player that disable Safari.

Mac OSX Mojave 10.14.4 I have gone to the Adobe website, downloaded the installer and installed Flash Player and a helper. I have uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled it.

And I continue to get pop-up ads from

Official Flash Player does not display any ads, much less ones that disable Safari. The only pop-up you'll see from officisl Flash Player is an Update Notification pop-up. I'll forward the link to our fraud team. In the future, feel free to report directly to phishing@adobe.com (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/alertus.html)

What you're seeing are fake/malicious Flash Player pop-up ads, evident from the link you posted, and not something Adobe has control over.

If someone has fake Flash Player ads, it’s not under Adobe’s control. This is a scam/attack.

I have had trouble before with Adobe downlowds, and I see from the related conversations that this is a chronic problem. Adobe gave me this address for help. This is not working, at all.

Yes, scammers are a chronic problem, always trying to infect us. If you want to intall Flash Player, go to http://get.adobe.com/flash . But it won't make these fake ads stop, they are designed to trick you.
