Flash is very annoying and intrusive. Unfortuantely there isn't an alternative that will make sense of flash content. Unlike (say) PDF where there are plenty of alternatives to Adobe's bloated offering. Despite Ipads and Iphones prohibiting flash altogether there's still a huge amount of it about so we're stuck with it.
I don't see why VK should have any flash content, except by following a link to a page containing flash. Hence a popup on VK saying you need flash is likely to be malicious.
I recently installed Windows XP on an old PC that I am refurbishing. Firefox went in as early as possible as the web browser. I delibrately went to a site known to use flash (BBC Iplayer) and was politely told that I needed flash. No popup, just a message where the flash content should have been displayed. I installed flash, remembering to untick the box that would have given me a McAfee scan or somesuch.
