this means there is something on the site that requires flash player to view,so its the web site generating the pop up,install it and be done with the popup.
flash player and adobe reader are 2 different programs .

I don't like being strong-armed into anything, especially by a machine. I'll fight fire with fire. Perhaps a more aggressive popup blocker.

Which browser you are using ?
Mozilla firefox or Internet explorer.

Streaming video as soon as you open a site , is the way of the internet now! not sure if any popup blocker is going to stop this one .

Did anyone ever come up with a solution to this problem? I have the latest Adobe Flash Player version installed, and I still get the pop up. It is disruptive--I have to stop what I am doing and close the pop up every 1-2 minutes.

ive installed adobe flash player,yet every time im on the internet i get pop up to install it-have clicked pop up,still comes back,sooo annoying!tried the adobe website,they do have suggestions,such as uninstall older version,allow pop up and stuff i wasnt sure about- messing around with settings,nothing works so far-any ideas would be helpfull-if i can figure it out will let you know!

fixed it!!!finally!!-uninstall flash player,then re install,then re start straight away-no more pop ups!!

hi,had same problem-uninstall flash player,re install then do immediate re start-worked for me,hope it helps!

I would not and will not install the flash player. I had it on a previous computer. The main effect was that I could hardly read anything I wanted to read, and my bandwidth got totally clogged, because of nonsense like dancing pronographic images intended to make me look at some ad. It got really painful and it hugely slowed me down, more than even the popup nonsense.

Why do web sites do this? Duh. It's advertizing.

It reminds me of the folks who say it's totally innocent to dfevelop two-way brain interfaceds that can control hyour emotions. "It's jnust voluntary whether you get wired up." Until it becomes standard to require it to get a job.

These popups have proliferated to a real extreme. We really ought to have a way to block them. If computer guys can't do it, should we write our Congressmen?
