Adobe Flash Malware

[asnorton44]

Not sure if this is the correct forum but I have been having trouble with redirects to Adobe Flash Malware websites but it only happens on NICO.

I heard this bug can infect routers but I used two different models wit the same results on only NICO. I have reset Windows 8.1 as well.

This is what the malware redirect looks like:


Anyone having similar issues? Thanks!

Doesn't mean it's coming from here. Probably something you DL'ed with another program (without knowing it).

I got it once when DL'ing something from download.com - because I didn't read each screen carefully, and didn't "decline" all the options.

You didn't mention what browser you're using, if you using Ad-Block in the browser, what (if any) security you have in place, nor what anti-malware scans (if any) you've performed.

If you are seeing random pop-up ads from YourInstaller.com within Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome, then your computer is infected with an adware or a potentially unwanted program. Remove YourInstaller.com pop-up virus (Removal Guide)

I have Avast for real-time antivirus protection, and regularly run SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. You might want to scan your system for issues.

Maybe your player IS outdated also, have you checked with the adobe website to make sure you have the most recent version?

The first link when you search for flash update is not always the right one on Google search, I know from experience. The one you want to check is this: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

I keep getting sent to a website: upgrade.yoursoftparadise.online which is trying to force me to upgrade my Adobe Flash. My Adobe Flash is up to date and I'm concerned that this is a virus distribution site. Is anyone else seeing this?

Moved and merged with existing thread. Please see my post above.

Thanks Rogue One - I'm only seeing this on my MacBook Air using the Safari Browser. I'm a CIO and used to ensuring that systems are secure. I only get the above issue when using this site and my Safari browser. Everything on the Mac is up to date.

Macs are not immune to virus/malware. I'm not a betting man, but I'd wager your system is infected (happens to the best of us). The fact that it's only happening on your MacBook Air while using the Safari browser indicates a targeted infection. Scan your system with the programs I mentioned above (BTW, you didn't give any details about your security set up).
