Adobe Flash Player Update

I repeatedly get a web page popping up in IE that says "Adobe Flash Player - Your Flash Player may be out of date" which triggers an IE pop up asking what I want to do with FlashPlayer.hta.

The website is   ohcoyinfotraxsys.org

Is this really from Adobe and legitimate?

Never ever click on a link from a pop up like that... there are MANY sites that have been hacked and have malware

Getting Flash Player https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer

Hi lorio81025281


Thank you for the URL.  I've forwarded it to the fraud team for follow-up.  Your post is currently being moderated and the URL may be removed by the moderator, considering it's pointing to a malicious installer.  In the future, you can forward these URLs directly to phishing@adobe.com or private message them to me.

I get that same screen ALL the time, Your Flash Player May Be Out Of Date, but it ONLY happens when I'm logged into and checking my Yahoo Email. It only happens once and not every single day. I know it's garbage and never click on it, but I CAN'T figure out why it keeps happening?

I get:

What do you want to do with Flashplayer.hta?

from: iuyeeonline-red.com

Open or Save.

I tried to add a screen shot but your system would not allow that kind of image.

I think this is fraud.

Hi lorio81025281

Yes, this is a malicious Flash Player installer. If you have the entire URL to the page that has this installer, please private message it to me and I'll forward it to our fraud department.  To send a private message, click on my user name link and the on the 'Message' button link.

I have attached a screen shot but I do not have the entire URL at the top

of this image.

When it pops up again I will get it.

I got the same deal when I was reading this article: Apple is facing several big iPhone 7 problems | ZDNet

I clicked on this link in the article, and that's when I got the phony Flash Player offer: Rare reports of poor image quality on iPhone 7 Plus circulate, no root cause known

Here's the screenshot:

I have received the same message from this address: https://quibutonyluvgeraldine.org/1733338642150/f83e6d5a9f6905f9112ef7914491b91d.html

Screen shot...note the Adobe icons.

No,  That is not legitimate.  FlahsPlayer.hta is not a valid Flash Player installer file name.

Can you please confirm the website, and provide the entire website URL (e.g. http://...)?  I tried going to the website you posted and got an error that the page cannot be displayed.

Can you please post a screenshot of the pop-up, and the website?

I recommend updating your virus/malware/adware/etc software and running a complete scan on your system.

I restricted the site in IE.  This is the address that shows up in the Restricted Sites list:

          https//*.ohcoyinfotraxsys.org

I can un-restrict the sight and see if the page pops up again, then send a screen shot if that will help you.

unfortunately, I can't find information on that domain and when I try to navigate to it I get a server not found error.

It'd be great if you could provide a screenshot that I can forward to our fraud department for follow-up.
