No matter how many times I've tried to uninstall Flash Player on my MacBook Pro MacOS Sierra 10.16.6 I am still getting the popup I am attaching here. Any way how to get rid of this problem? When clicking More info.... it tells me end of life and how to remove the Flash Player but to no avail. Thanks

    This is a Java pop-up window and not related to Flash Player at all. You'll need to go to the Java help forums for assistance with this pop-up.

    Java has nothing to do with Flash Player and vice versa.

     

    At one time, a Java plugin was required to access certain websites. The browsers stopped supporting Java plugins about 4 years ago along with Silverlight, Shockwave and others.  So you won't find much Java on the web these days.  It's obsolete now the same as Flash Player.
