I just heard that we should take Flash off our computers before it goes away…that is could mess up our computers if we don’t. Is that true? Thanks

If that were true everyone would be telling people to delete it before 12/31.

I found this on the Adobe site highlighted in yellow. Since Adobe will no longer be supporting Flash Player after December 31, 2020 and Adobe will block Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021, Adobe strongly recommends all users immediately uninstall Flash Player to help protect their systems.

I’ve received a pop-up from Adobe (weekly and for a while now) thanking me for using Flash Player and recommending I remove it from my machine. They provide an uninstall button. Then they promptly tried to sell me another product of theirs…lol.
