Don't download anything that is said to be installed from the internet. Get official instructions here: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html.


If you did download something from one of those messages, run Malwarebytes for Mac (free): https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/.


Cheers,
