@dooBdoo   I just looked in my programs and it is installed.   I wonder if I should delete it?   Is reader also bad?

            @BalletBabe,  Adobe Reader is useful and not a problem, in my experience, and it has never had the security problems we've seen with Flash Player.   I think you have the real version of Flash Player from the Adobe developers, since you're not having problems and you're not installing software from pop-ups.   As long as you don't have problems with it, I don't see a reason to remove it...  however, as time goes by it has become a plug-in that's not really needed and for some of us it's not worth putting up with the glitches.

            Thumbs up to you for using a pop-up blocker!😊
