Adobe Flash Player Installer pop up

[The Dirty Bubble]

For the past two days every time I navigate to a new page I get a pop up security warning window asking me if I want to download Adobe Flash Player Installer. Unfortunately, I can't as I am in work and do not have admin rights to install software on my PC.

Any chance that next time this window pops up and I say no I can be offered the option to say "do not ask me again".

Its driving me potty!

Unfortunately most of the adverts work using flash, so when the page requests the advert it then looks to see if you have flash and tries to install it. As the ads are controlled by a third party we have no control over "dont ask again" boxes.

The best way to stop it is to turn off JavaScript on the browser which will stop the adverts from being called, but will also have detrimental effect on other websites you use.

Thank you, will give it a try.

You could also adjust your hosts file to remove all adverts. (I suspect that this post will get removed for saying that)
