Posted: April 13, 2020

Online fraudsters often use fake websites to promote shady software that is disguised as a legitimate updater or installer. Such is the case with Siteofupdates.info, a page that displays fake pop-ups that tell visitors to update their Adobe Flash Player to view online videos - Siteofupdates.info then displays a download link that can supposedly be used to download the latest Flash Player update. However, you can rest assured that Siteofupdates.info is not a trustworthy source of software updates, and it is very likely that you will end up downloading a Potentially Unwanted Program 9PUP), hijacker, or adware that will bring undesired changes to your system.

Fake Adobe Flash Player updates have been used to propagate malware and shady applications for over a decade, so you should not download such content if it does not come from Adobe's official website. If you suspect that you may have downloaded a fake update like the one served on Siteofupdates.info recently, we advise you to run an anti-malware scanner, which can make sure that you did not end up with any harmful software on your computer.
