I was visiting mactip.net and I’m not sure if that’s a reputable website on here. When I clicked on it about 3 different ads flashed at the same time and the last one was one that said my adobe flash player was out of date. I went on the website twice to check and it it did it twice. I did not click anything or download anything just exited out of the website and decided to factory reset my MacBook Air for my peace of mind. Am I safe?
..Safer than believing whatever rogue 'pop-up' adware bomb may let you unleash in your Mac.
Some of those are referred to as P.U.P.s*
Those fake Adobe Flash downloads are too often the cause of oddly bad behaviour in Mac.
And are the most effective way to start the Mac on downhill slope, to insanity!
Adobe Flash is seldom used in modern macOS. If you believe that you really need their Player
or other Adobe product, seek their maker-sites; some their real products can cost, others, free.
HTML5 and other softwares replaced Adobe Flash in modern browser usage.
Should you consider their product, it may no longer be supported in latest macOS 10.15.x
~ but their site may show one, here: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Browsers can retain odd bits that toss Mac users a curve; added 'extensions' and other stuff.
You can restart Safari with extensions-off and then look for bad actors, to remove them.
I've not had to do those, since I seldom randomly click-on things; and like to know before so
doing exactly what it is, & why (if) the item is needed at all. *Potentially Unwanted Programs?
Good luck & happy computing!🌤☘
Can my MacBook get a virus?
