    Hey folks, there is something I absolutely need to tell you. If you ever come across an ad that says “Flash player needs to be updated”, or some other thing, NEVER EVER install the flash player. Only download from the official site.

    Why?

    Because these are scams and when you download and open them, it sends all your information and IP to the creator, leaking all of your personal information.

    Be careful.

    Well of coure I wouldn't do that. You shouldn't download a plug-in or any program from a 3rd party website because you can get viruses and have hackers get your personal data stored on your computer. :p

    If I recall correctly, Flash has a lot of vulnerabilities, so I wouldn't download it in general.

    Oh, and it's dying in 2020.
