Q: Flash out of date ... is the popup malware ?

I have this message about downloading something to my computer. How can I tell that this is genuine?

It does not seem to come through the App store, or through the Safari extension system (I am not sure if the latter even monitored by Apple).

Thanks.

A genuine alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this page. Follow the instructions on the page in that case. Otherwise, the alert is not trustworthy and someone may be trying to scam you into installing malware. If you see fake update prompts on more than one website, or if you've already followed one of the fake prompts, ask for instructions.
