With the official death of Adobe Flash on January 1st, you’ll likely want to remove the software from your computer if you’ve still got it installed.
Adobe officially dropped support for the ageing multimedia software after a long-running shutdown period. In about two weeks’ time, the company will block all Flash content from working in the player. Plus, Adobe advises users to remove Flash Player since it will no longer update the software. Those who leave Adobe installed could make themselves vulnerable to security exploits.
As such, we’ve included some details on how to uninstall Adobe Flash from your Windows or Mac computer. Don’t worry about removing Flash from your phone — chances are you aren’t using a device that still supports the software. Android stopped supporting Flash back in 2012 with version 4.1, while iOS never supported Flash.
