I just uninstalled Adobe's Flash Player, as Adobe is recommending.

Over on Gab, people post links to obscure websites which quite often take you to a site to download Adobe Flash. Because I never download anything from 3rd parties, I close out the tab ASAP. I think we all know those types of sites are full of malware.

My question is how long is this going to continue? It feels like 50% of the articles over there are trying to infect my Mac.

I apologize that this is off topic, but I know there's some pretty sharp computer geeks here and I'd like to solve this annoyance.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I read the Adobe Q&A and they were recommending uninstalling.

Wish I could move to Linux, but I don't think my Bloomberg remote terminal will function on that. Bloomberg is amazing software, but it's really picky. That's the whole reason I'm running a Windows virtual machine.
