Q: Anyone know why CBS.com is asking me to install Adobe Flash Player when I have a record in finder of that being installed on March 31, 2016?

I have watched videos of my favorite shows at CBS.com in the past without popups telling me to install Adobe Flash Player. However, today the popup is telling me to install Adobe Flash Player. I have a record in Finder of that Flash Player being installed on this iMac 21.5 computer using Safari 9.1 on March 31, 2016. Why is it blocking me from viewing their shows now? Any ideas?

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), Mail app

That would seem to indicate they specialize in "junk" and not "news" as you stated.

It's either the genuine Adobe Flash Player needing updating or that website of yours is giving you an Ad that is a fake Adobe Flash Player that is probably going to lead you to download a Virus of some sort.

They specialize in whatever you think they do.

I see. So if I think they specialize in the production of Cat Food. That is what they specialize in. Got it.

If that is what you think now, you must be right.
