Hello everyone, so today i turned on my PC and get a notification that Adobe Flash needs to be updated. I clicked update and it took me to this website get3.adobe.com/flashplayer/update/ppapi/ is this a real website or my PC has a virus? Please do not ignore this post! Thanks.

That is a legitimate link for the Update Notification workflow, for the Flash Player PPAPI (Chromium-based browsers) plugin.

 

Please note that if Chrome is your only Chromium-based browser there is no need to install Flash Player PPAPI plugin separately as Google embeds Flash Player in Chrome and they release the updates for the embedded Flash Player PPAPI plugin.
