Today I was at YouTube when I was given a pop-up message that my version of Flash was outdated and that I should dowload the latest version.
Problem is, I didn't have Flash installed. I uninstalled it a long time ago. I still have the uninstaller. After this recent coreinsight hijack, I did a lot of housecleaning, including installing a new version of Firefox, deleting cookies and caches and so on, running Onyx.
Moroever, the Flash update started downloading on its own, and the file name didn't look like the usual Flash update filenames. I've downloaded many of them over the years, as you might expect. For one thing, the file name didn't include a version number and the file itself was dowloading quickly, suggesting a smaller file than usual.
I'd also like to say that, despite using AdBlock Plus and having pop-ups blocked in Firefox, I install encounter a lot of pop-ups. I'm on Firefox 39.0.3 because the new versions conflict with my version of 1Password.
I don't know if any of this means anything.
