<div dir="ltr">Hi Shel, Flash for Chrome is bundled within it, so you don't need to update it separately and that message is probably a scam. Additionally, if you have Flash installed for Safari and/or Firefox (and I advise against it), then it would need to
receive updates from directly from Adobe. You can turn on the auto update option from the Flash preference pane and also check updates there, but to reiterate, I suggest uninstalling the standalone Flash and using Chrome for the rare site that still uses Flash
in 2019.</div>

<div dir="ltr">On a MacBookAir from I think 2012 (inherited computer), I got two different warnings to update my flash on two pages with no connection to each other.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am not sure what version of Chrome I was running but when I went to check, it started updating to <span style="color:rgb(95,99,104); font-family:Roboto,system-ui,sans-serif; font-size:13px">Version 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) (64-bit)(this is AFTER
I received the Adobe updater messages).</span><br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am suspicious of these identical update messages. I figured if it was real, I could get it from the AppStore, and the update I have from November 2016 appears to be the current one.</div>

</div>
<div>My reasons for writing: </div>
<div>

<li>To warn others about very real-looking fake update messages, and</li><li>To ask if my system is infected in some way, and if so, what's the best way to deal with it</li></ol>
