So, why are these PremiumVideoUpdates.com pop-ups dangerous? To be more specific, when we attempted to proceed with this update offer on our virtual computer (which we use for malware research and analysis), we were offered to download some sort of a Flash Player Pro, which additionally modified the search settings of our browser, changed the homepage of it, and, finally, brought a lot of other potentially unwanted and unsafe applications.

This is what the pop-up mentioned when we saw it:

Please Update Adobe Flash Player
Please Install Flash Player Pro To Continue (Required)
