Last night I received a pop up from Adobe on my MacBook Air saying I needed to uninstall Flash. Because I was in the middle of a project, I clicked on the "remind me later" button and it took me to a page of instructions stating that I would receive that notification again or I could go through the steps supplied in that note.

If that's true, will Adobe really be sending out another popup with the link for me to uninstall Flash? Thanks,
Mary
