Is Safari particularly vulnerable or being targeted by fake Adobe Flash pop-ups?
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
Force Quit Safari ( command + option + esc keys).Then restart Safari holding the Shift key.
If you still have problems Empty Caches (Safari menu > Preferences > Privacy > Remove all website data. (This will also remove history if you do not want to remove History open Safari Preferences > Advanced and check mark “Show Develop Menu” then choose “Empty Caches” from Develop Menu ).
Then go to Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions and check there. If there is an extension delete it.
If the problem persists then download and run Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our own colleagues here in ASC and is about the most proven anti-malware software for Mac.

I am bothered by (fake) Adobe Flash pop-ups that occur when I use Safari. The problem does not seem to occur when I use Google Chrome. Is there some weakness or bug in Safari
