| | |  Do not download Flash if prompted (UPDATE #2)
Do NOT download or install the 'Adobe Flash' file if you are prompted to do so on SnitchSeeker. We are currently experiencing some technical difficulties, probably with a bad advert. While you may CHOOSE to download attachments on the site, SnitchSeeker.com will NEVER prompt you to download ANYTHING automatically. If you are asked to download or install something please click cancel or refresh your browser to get rid of the alert.
No matter what site you may be browsing, if it pops up asking you to download something cancel it and go to the software manufacturer's site directly if you want to download and install the software from the pop up so you can be certain you are getting the software you want and not a virus that you don't.
We are working with our ad servers to determine the source of this problem and hope to have it down soon. In the meantime, please click cancel (or refresh if that isn't an option) and the prompt should go away.
Thank you for your patience!

aka The Tech Team UPDATE: The ads believed to be responsible for these messages have been removed. UPDATE #2: You may legitimately need to download an update to Adobe Flash when you receive this message. However, the message itself is fake and you should NOT download direct from the message. Navigate away from or close out of the alert and go directly to adobe.com and click on 'Download Adobe Flash Player'. Adobe will automatically detect what browser you are using and whether or not you need to upgrade. I believe the false messages we've been receiving on the site may be due to a security flaw in a previous release of the flash plugin.  | |

EEE this totally just happened to me, and usually the pop-ups get blocked by my browser and stuff.  Bad Flash, baaaad. Good thing I saw this and clicked out of the tab.

It's not in the form of a regular pop-up. It does look convincing which is what the virus relies on to trick you into downloading it, thinking it's legit.

Oh, you remind me I have to install antivirus-program  Anyway, now I´ll be careful (I think I saw some pop-ups with "download it" when I used Explorer, but in Opera or Chrome I haven´t seen anything).
