Jul 14, 2015 7:02 PM in response to Belloverbyby Linc Davis,A genuine alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this page.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.

How do I get rid of a popup that states Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date.
Consider removing Adobe Flash Player. Adobe has a download which deinstalls Flash. See what breaks, of what you use. In many cases, not much breaks — YouTube now serves H.264 video and no longer depends on Flash, for instance. On older OS X releases — around when I was using Flash — I'd also found Safari crashes became rare after removing Flash. Worst case, you can go to the Adobe site and reinstall Flash, and then deal with the updates and the insecurities and the likely need for a plugin-blocking tool, if something you need depends on Flash.
