When downloading flash player, a malware caled atdmt.com is installed. This causes Hotmail to be diverted away so that your mail can be read. Has anybody else found this, if so what's the solution?

Hi

Yes i do that after i watch whatever needs the flash player. I think i have now cracked it. If you go to the Adobe site instead of various links to the flash player from other sites, THEN download it direct from Adobe, the malware does not appear. This appears to be the answer.

Thanks
