Alert about Adobe flash!

This is actually what the fake one looks like not the one above. It does not say that it is Adobe.

I have no trace of any Adobe products on my system except for PhotoShop so if flash is embedded MS did a good job hiding it.

I don't have the plugin installed on Firefox and have never had a problem viewing videos on any site. I haven't had flash installed since I had to clean my wifes laptop after she got infected by doing a speedtest at speedtest.net when they were compromised a couple years ago.

I do know that IE 10 will render HTML 5 videos and doesn not use Adobe flash.

See this info page at YouTube https://www.youtube.com/html5 which I got by right clicking the video and selecting about HTML 5 viewer. No Adobe mention seen. I also get that in Firefox.

To add. Maybe if you have flash installed you'll get the video rendered in flash player instead. Since I don't I get the HTML player.

That's exactly right, Bob.

Using your link Bob, I just selected the HTML player as default. It works perfectly. Thanks!

Thanks Bob. Very helpful.

The one thing I believe but cannot find where I read it is that the Fake "Flash Player" does not say Adobe so I am not quite sure where you are showing it with Adobe in it donatao unless that has changed recently.

I only know what I read. If you need examples. Did you not see this in the screen shots I posted?? According to MBAM. I suggest you go here and read about this!!

That's an exploit for a vulnerability they are showing in the real Adobe Flash which is different from the fake alert.
They are proving that the exploit was effectively blocked by MBAM Anti-Exploit.

Again your video shows no "Adobe", just "Flash Player" as I said originally.

This is how this malware is being billed on the internet. I'm not saying Adobe is in shown in the malware. It looks like Adobe flash icon, so I guess that's the reason it is being billed as Adobe flash Zero Day. I don't know???????
