Apr 12, 2018 While reading the morning paper on my MacBook Pro, a popup appeared telling me to update to the latest version of Flash Player. I clicked to downloaded the dmg file, and noticed it was downloading from fpsdz.aspirinqueen.win. Needless to say, this does not appear to be an Adobe site so I did not.
Q. Fake Flash Player Update alerts constantly popping up! What can I do to stop this from happening and remove fake alerts and popups.
A. If those alerts or pop ups keep appearing and greatly affect you, then it is a sign that your machine is infected by potentially unwanted application (PUA) or adware (also known as ‘ad-supported’ software). You can search whether there is ad-supported software in your control panel or undesired plugin on your web-browser. If any, you should first uninstall it from your Apple Mac.
What is the purpose of adware? Adware delivers unwanted ads on your computer. Some of these ads are scams or fake ads designed to trick you (such as these Flash Player Update pop-ups). Even the harmless advertisements can become really irritating. Ad-supported software can be installed unintentionally and without you knowing about it, when you open email attachments, install free freeware.
In order to show unwanted ads as often as possible the adware can change your web browser settings. You may even find that your machine settings are hijacked without your conscious permission. The creators of ad supported software do so in order to earn revenue via third-party ad network. Thus every your click on ads makes money for them.
