Adobe Flash end of life

[Warren Toda]

Adobe Flash is now officially dead (as of December 31, 2020) and will no longer be updated. If you have Flash on your computer or your kids' computers, you could/should remove it as a security precaution. Most current web browsers will not load the Flash plugin.

Since Adobe Flash had constant updates because of its many security holes, some people downloaded and installed Flash updates without thinking. This is why scammy sites use fake Adobe Flash installers to spread viruses and malware.

From now on, there are no more Flash updates. If you ever encounter something that says Adobe Flash or is in any way related to Adobe Flash, it is absolutely fake. Unfortunately Adobe and some third-party software download sites are still promoting Flash on their web sites.
