I constantly get "alerts" that I need to update my Adobe Flash Player. Once I tried the update as requested and as a result my computer was infected with malware. Difficult to know when it is a legit update or malware. I don't think I need Flash Player and would like to delete it. Do I need Adobe Flash Player when using Adobe Photoshop Elements?
A frustrated Adobe Photoshop Elements user.

The problem is elsewhere.
What's your browser? Is it Firefox 52?

There is a general change in policy from webbrowsers editors: they no longer want external plug-ins like flash or Java to better control safety. That does not mean that Flash Player is a malware or less secure than before, but you can expect it to be soon dropped and replaced by other solutions.
Flash player is used by a number of other non Adobe applications. As far as I know, it's not a requisite for Elements, but you may get problems with many other non Adobe applications.
