YouTube clips

[slimjim]

Looks like all the YouTube clips are currently no-show. Hopefully this is a temporary VBulletin glitch

 

[slimjim]

Well whatever was at fault has obviously been sorted as it's back to normal

 

[slimjim]

Is it just me or are all the YouTube clips currently not showing again?

Hi, slimjim!

I can see the clips from youtube. Is there any program on your pc or any add on in your browser, that blocks youtube links for you?

 

[slimjim]

It must be a glitch with me - they are back now though

No YT problems by me in Sweden today!

Over the last few days I kept getting an annoying pop-up window telling me my flash player needed to be updated. I did the sensible thing and shut it down and then today I completely un-installed Flash Player then did a clean download/installation - hopefully this will have sorted things out raying:

You don't have to unistall it before you do the update. The pop up simply tells you that it's outdated, nothing more.

I wondered if the version on my laptop had become corrupted/developed a glitch which is why I elected to completely remove it and d/load a new clean copy direct from their site. The other thing is that I am using the Edge browser, which already incorporates Flash Player so for most of my browsing I shouldn't even need to have my own copy of Flash.

The pop-up is generally a spam advertisement that updates Flash Player and gives you a lot of other programs whether you want them or not. Flash Player's announcement doesn't come as a pop-up but a proper announcement.

I did suspect that it might be spam and potentially dangerous - that's why I always closed it. I have done the obvious thing of updating my anti-virus (Avast) and anti-malware (Malawarebytes) and then run full scans with both as well as running Ashampoo to remove any unwanted changes to the registry... now it's a wait to see if it comes back again

 

[slimjim]

Having looked for more help on-line I have d/loaded and currently running a full scan with HitManPro

Yes, it's not a normal pop up. I get the info normally when you start your computer. It's still in a window though.

@slimjim: You can choose between different options when you install it. You can set the options to "automatically update" or "inform me about available updates" (and probably other ones).

And don't expect the update to last long, they can come very often.

 

[slimjim]

Yeah, it was when I found this out that I began to get suspicious as to why I was getting this pop-up and that it could be potentially dangerous
