Is downloading adobe safe for my MacBook Air. I just bought it and don't want to add viruses or anything.
Also when you're going to start the downloading process adobe asks if it's okay to make "changes" do i allow that? it's the only way to download the software
Help Please 🙂
MacBook Air, iOS 8.4
Hi
Adobe is completely safe and when it asks you to make changes it doesn't download viruses unless you got it from a 3rd party website other then adobe. I would recommend getting adobe a most things work on adobe and java. And if you ever get any viruses get adware medic.
even the free ones that come off of sites where you have to have it??
here is a link of where to download adobe
this link should contain the downloads
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=macintosh&product=10
Never download any service or program from anywhere other than from a developers site, in this case Adobe, themselves. Or where the option exists, Apple.
To do so is to invite any number of items of malware, adware or the like, which is bundled with the 'Free' download. Adobe is free anyway.
Flash Player should ONLY be installed from Adobe’s website.
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. It is highly recommended that you carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser. More advice here:
