I had a browser window pop up telling me there was a critical update to Flash Player.  The web page address began with: http://freeupd.free247updatetoolnow.com/.  I didn't trust it, so I closed the page.  Please advise.

Hi,

Yes, that is not website is not associated with Adobe.  I've forwarded the URL to our fraud/security department.  I would also run a full system scan for viruses, trojans, malware, etc on your system.  Just to be safe.

Thank you for posting that here.

Thank you, Maria.  I am running Mac OS 10.9.  I have run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and it came up clean.  Do you know what else I should run?
