How to remove 'Adobe Flash Player' is out of date' from Mac computers

What is 'Adobe Flash Player' is out of date'?

When opened, this deceptive website displays a pop-up window suggesting that the installed version of Adobe Flash Player is out of date and encourages users to download and install the latest version. At the time of research, this page downloaded an installer of two applications: Media Player and MyCouponsmart. Like most websites of this type, this page is designed to trick people into installing potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). In most cases, these sites distribute PUAs such as browser hijackers and adware, however, some attempt to trick visitors into installing Trojans, ransomware and other high-risk malware.

Adobe Flash Player Chrome

According to this website, the installed version of Adobe Flash Player does not include the latest security updates and cannot be used unless it is updated. It downloads a file called 'Adobe Flash Player.dmg', which is supposedly designed to install the latest Adobe Flash Player, however, rather than installing any legitimate software it installs Media Player and MyCouponsmart. Note that MyCouponsmart is adware that serves intrusive ads including coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, and so on. These conceal underlying content of visited pages and, if clicked, open potentially malicious pages or download and install unwanted software. Furthermore, adware can record browsing-related information such as IP addresses, geolocations, addresses of visited pages, entered search queries, and other browsing data. In some cases, this software collects private, sensitive details. The people responsible for these apps misuse gathered data to generate revenue, or they sell it to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals). Note that another app that is included with this fake Adobe Flash Player installer might operate as adware. In some cases, fake installers are used to infect systems with malware such as a Trojans, ransomware or other malicious software. People with computers infected with programs of this kind usually experience data and financial loss, problems with browsing safety, privacy, and risk becoming victims of identity theft. Therefore, software should never be downloaded from any scam websites.

Other examples of similar scam websites include operatedevelopeduberprogram[.]icu, operateuberrefinedprogram[.]icu and mainspotupdatesfreenew[.]info. Typically, they deceive visitors into using fake Adobe Flash Player installers by suggesting that the installed version of this software is outdated. These installers do not provide the official Adobe Flash Player software - they install PUAs or other malicious software. Websites of this type are often opened by PUAs that are already installed on browsers and/or operating systems.

How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?

People often download and install PUAs unintentionally when they are included into the download/installation set-ups of other (mainly free) software. Information about these additional downloads/installations can be found in settings such as 'Custom', 'Advanced', 'Manual', etc. When software is downloaded or installed without checking and changing these settings, PUAs receive permission to be downloaded and installed. This PUA distribution method is known as 'bundling' and is used by developers to trick people into downloading and installing unwanted apps with other, regular software. In other cases, PUAs are downloaded and installed when people click deceptive ads that run certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Unwanted downloads and installations can be avoided by downloading software only from official websites. Avoid third party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., torrent clients, eMule), dubious websites and other similar channels. Check 'Custom', 'Advanced' and other similar settings of the download/installation setup and dismiss offers to download or install additionally-included software. Do not click intrusive ads that appear on dubious web pages - they often cause redirects to untrusted and potentially malicious websites or download/installation of PUAs. Remove any unwanted, suspicious applications (extensions, plug-ins, add-ons) already installed on the browser immediately. The same should be applied to software that is installed on the operating system. If your computer is already infected with PUAs, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate them.
