    There are no new plug-ins. If they had a virus it would have been discovered before now. Many infected computers are putting up messages like you saw and try to get you to a website they control to "fix" the problem. I recommend you download a respected virus protection system to scan your system.

    This was a windows message in a pop-up window.  I tried to download the plug-ins after waiting a couple of days and had no problem.  They are installed and working great.  If you Adobe gurus removed the virus, thanks much!  If not, hey, don't you love it when you do the EXACT same thing twice on a computer and get different results?  Arrrrrgggh.
