    Can you post a screenshot of such a notice? Are you sure it's from Adobe? I have seen dozens of similar posts in the Flash Player forum, where some malware tries users to upgrade to "Flash Player Pro" or other fake software.

    Hey guys, I have run across the same notices telling me to "upgrade" or that "I need to install Flash Player" or that it is "out of date". I just click them off and bypass them because I know I'm up to date. pwillener, you hit the nail on the head, all of these are are just malware waiting for you to step into the trap.

    I would run the latest version of the Uninstaller and then reinstall Flash Player.

    If you still get the messages, then you know it's bogus or malware as already suggested.
