    I have no problem at all with their website? What should be wrong? Adobe Flash Player is still among the most widely used browser plugins and is often used to play videos, and other interactive content, so if you want to see all the content on their or other sites, one still needs it, maybe no longer in the future by 2020, when it will be replaced by a new system.
    If you do not want flash player, just do not allow to install.

    While I've never visited that website, it is very possible that it is compromised through adverts the site has no direct control over.
    Flash player is a very known source for issues related to that so it might make sense to act a little more cautious around that site.
    I have it installed because some sites just don't work properly without it, however, I configured it so I have to activate it before it's used every time.
    Easy setting in Firefox and I'm sure other browsers also.

    Perhaps you need to check your system because ALL of my devices laptop, cell phone, and tablet all warned of a virus threat using different anti-virus tools. Adobe Flash while inherently safe is a hacker's favorite tool to exploit vulnerabilities. My post wasn't done without forethought.
