Strange Update Screen

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  And yes all my adobe programs are up to date on all the updates.

It took a while but I finally found a way to get rid of the virus. My computer was sooo infected. http://malwaretips.com/blogs/malware-removal-guide-for-windows/ Follow the steps on this page & your computer will be cleaned. It took all day for me to work through it but it has worked so far. There are several different downloads & they are all free.

I had the same problem. Multi-tasking can leave you vulnerable when a situation requires your full attention. When I was booting up I quick scanned and clicked for a update and something did feel strange about it. Some of these updates come with trial offers for all kinds of things and I've been batting a thousand so far in unchecking the camouflaged offers. I didn't think much of it until a day or so later, as you said, I left the browser open for a couple hours which I normally never do and I see I have a 'Please update media player' with a big yellow 'UPDATE' in the middle of the page. Oh oh! I have McAfee running actively and decided to run a full scan and it didn't pick up the malware. Googled 'Update Media Player' and got a lot of hits. One web site suggested to open add/remove programs in control panel and go through everything that you don't recognize. In my case I found a program called 'Yantoo' or something close to that, I've removed this program and haven't had a recurrence of this screen, so far, a couple of days. By the way I was in Firefox when I got this screen. I had a Verizon technician replacing a router and DVR and he opened the Chrome browser that I have on my desk top but never use. I don't know what if anything that might have to do with it I just saying.

I am having the same problem. Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

I have the same popup. I got 3 adobe update dialogs today and I kept clicking it before I got suspicious. I'm regretting that now, since it's probably malware...

As a rule: NEVER EVER download a Flash Player update from ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THIS SITE.

There are far too many "fake" updates out there.

That link you provided is missing a "w" in the www and when I added it, it went to a domain parking space. DEFINITELY nothing you'd need Flash Player (or any update) to see.
