I have disabled the Adobe flash player, and am now getting the attached pop up. Now I understand WHY it is popping up. What I am seeking is, is there a way that I can disable this pop up from even occurring?

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

Wouldn’t some pages make a call for it anyway? How about simply hitting the tiny red X in that bar’s far right side — and go on with the BidNis [Louisiana-style] at hand?

Doesn’t help. I have Flash uninstalled in my concurrent thread on the same topic Yellow-Information-Bar-at-bottom-of-screen-delete-disable, and still got many ‘install Flash’ requests.
fbob, check my post of Jan 6th in that thread, should help if you haven’t done the action there.

AskWoody LoungerJanuary 16, 2015 at 3:37 am #1484855Use this article to see if you have Flash Player installed and up to date http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
It’s quite possible if you have it installed, that you don’t have the Shockwave plug-in enabled in your browser which the article will also help you with.

AskWoody_MVPJanuary 16, 2015 at 6:11 pm #1484954Flash is, already, in IE11, adding it is not needed or required.
The embedded Flash is not listed in Programs & Features; it is part of the browser.
Only on Windows 8/10, not Windows 7 which this thread is about:
Important
The preinstalled version of Adobe Flash isn’t supported on Internet Explorer 11 running on either Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1.
However, you can still download and install the separate Adobe Flash plug-in.Internet Explorer 11 – FAQ for IT Pros
When that ‘pop up’ shows can ignore it & close it (‘x’) or look @ the choices in the Allow button… could be a ‘never’ option or some such so it does not appear, again.
There isn’t; only Allow for all websites.
