HL2DM wanted me to...install flash??

[infiniteloop]

OK, really weird issue here...I've been having the system freeze / sound looping / memory errors like so many others around this forum, but I just experienced a glitch that really takes the cake. I had just loaded up a DM match, and the sound started to hiccup and I expected to see that dreaded memory error again....but instead I got a prompt to install Macromedia flash! I clicked no and then the game was able to resume as normal. Has anyone else experienced this? Screenshot is included for reference.

I don't know. Never happoned to me, but I probably already had flash installed at the time. What concerns me is that it looks like you have two popups asking you to install like it's being persistant and I don't see any reason why a computer game would use flash. Did you have IE or IE like things running in the background?

Install it,what harm will it do?

The thing is, I've already got flash installed (couldn't make it through the day without visiting ABS and ebaumsworld a few times ). And atomic: that double window was a result of the game beginning to crash...I moved the install window a little bit once I saw it, and it's original position stayed frozen there too.

i would do a few adware scans, and a virus scan.
