I'm never sure about those popups either.  I have Windows 8.1 and when I get a popup on my computer for flash player update, I go to the control panel and find the "Uninstall or change a program" window that shows all programs installed on my computer.  There, I single click on Adobe Flash Player and make note of the current version that's installed.  Then at the bottom of that window there are links, one of which is for "Update Information: (followed by a link)."  When I click on that link, it opens up Adobe Flash Player download and if the version shown there is higher than what's on my computer, then I click the download button.  This way has made it easier for me to know if it's legit.

Very good to know!  Thank you.  

 

I got caught in the Adobe trap (downloading from a pop-up) and just spent the day trying to remove malware and Ask.com from my computer.  I would implore people to avoid downloading Ask.com when it comes free with other software.  That's the part that contained the malware.
