I am getting Flash Player update page on the Detroit Free Press website. How can I make this go away?

I don't get any such notice…and the site works fine and is fully accessible. I assume you've expunged Flash from your system, right?

A little clarification... I don't use Flash. Haven't for several years. At Sarcany's suggestion I disabled Javascript and now have no problems on the DFP website.
Unaware of Kill Sticky but will get it and try it out.

Thanks,

You should have something to disable javascript, and an adblocker by default. Even that doesn't prevent malware from trying to slip in via sophisticated ads occasionally.

I was not aware folks still used Flash. Seriously, I haven't had it installed for over
four years. Didn't HTML5 eliminate the need for it?
:oldfogey:

Kids use a typing training website that requires flash. Also Citi virtual CC numbers also require flash.
For those I use Chrome.

Recently got a notice from Bank of America that they're dropping their virtual CC feature (ShopSafe) on Sept 20th. Their interface was very similar to Citi's, and wonder if Citi will be doing the same soon.

I just tried to update to Adobe's latest Flash version 32.0.0.255, on Mac OS 10.6.8, and for the first time, going through my normal procedure of downloading directly from Adobe's website, the installation failed, and I'm not alone.

I had been running 32.0.0.238 which installed fine.

I've no Flash in my Macs except for FireFox.

Kill Sticky is in the Favorites bar.

It gets used all the time, mainly to kill the various headers on sites that keep moving up and down, obscuring the webpage and annoying as well.

You're probably already aware something is haunting the DFP site or it's an ad they're hosting that's Flashing you.

Also, when I KS some sites to get rid of annoying bits (Sales Chat windows, share panels) it sometimes kills navigation of the site.

Is this the right link for it? It only has a few reviews and <200 users? Seems like it might be a malware site...?
