Warnings have been posted about phony updates to the Abobe Flash program.

Barracuda Networks says it found a number of compromised websites that take visitors to an official looking Flash update page. But, I-T experts say downloading the updates could infect a computer with malware. They offer a way to spot the fake pages; they only allows users to click on the “Continue” button.
