1292922 2012-08-05 10:05:00 Is 11.3.300.270 installed? Older versions of flash did crash with firefox. Go to programs and features in control panel if you use Win7, it shows the version there. Or run ccleaner if its installed, go to tools / uninstall tab. It appears here too Speedy Gonzales (78)
1292923 2012-08-05 10:09:00 What generally happens with the fake one is a window opens and like the real Adobe flash player says theres an update - if you are not quick enough you miss the actual version number.

Generally if you click install, it goes through the process ( or looks like it) a good AV will detect its fake and stop it. Usually after that, at random times it tries again, but this time says theres an error, cant install etc. The file is actually sitting in the temp Internet files, so by cleaning them out ( Ccleaner) it removes it, and alls well. If the AV is not good enough, it will not stop the infection and away it goes and you then get infected Read this here (www.bleepingcomputer.com) The actual poster asks the question. Its changing all the time, and those removal instructions are actually out of data for some versions.

To check what version you have, either go into the control panel, double click flash player/Advanced Tab there will be the version and the option to check for updates, OR go to www.adobe.com and it will tell you.

1292925 2012-08-05 20:55:00 I asked my dad about getting a different AV but he said we will just get a different AV when my norton runs out.

Your dad doesn't understand either.

Uninstall the pointless Nortons, download (free) MS Security Essentials and install it.
It costs nothing.

Your dad has an objection to cost - MSSE is free - or he just prefers to be unprotected.

You might point out that their PCs, which you say are used for internet banking, are most likely compromised too.

I agree, you should probably get your dad to read this thread right from start to finish as well, then he will understand :D

and thanks Speedy and wainuitech, I have 11.3.300.265 installed, guess it's time to update then?

would MSSE run without clashes with AVG? or shall I just have 1 instead?

Thanks for the help :D

1292928 2012-08-05 23:23:00 Just 1. Two antivirus programs clash. And besides, why would you want AVG? Nick G (16709)

They use a Mac, so it may or may not have a virus...

Probably explains the purchase of Norton then.
