Stupid computer issue

[soera]

I really am not computer tech literate. But I need help with something. I keep getting a message saying that I need to update my plug in for Adobe Flash. No matter what I do, it wont let me actually update and install it.

If you know more about computers than me and think you can figure this out, let me know.

If your running Linux chances are it's either Ubuntu or Mint as they are the most popular. Try installing it from the software center. Just launch it from the ''start menu'' and type in flash.
