Why am I being asked to install flash player?

Question

A couple of sites that I've used regularly that require adobe flash player have suddenly started telling me I need to install it. I keep going through the installation process, but I still get the same message. What's going on?

Answer 1

You have to uninstall the old outdated one first.

Answer 2

I know what you're thinking: Spyware.

No. Macromedia Flash Player is a Plug-in for internet browsers, to either view videos or show moving content on websites.

Youtube is an example of a website that uses Flash Player.

Download it to allow more functionality on certain websites.

However, if you've already downloaded and installed it, go to where you would find 'Plug-Ins' in your Web Browser, and enable Plug-Ins.

Answer 3

Answer 5
