I just booted up my system and getting a virus detected on D/L'd as well.  From the official Flash player update & link:

https://get3.adobe.com/flashplayer/update/activex/, after D/L Wdws auto deletes file for virus detected.

then upon d/l: every single time:

please advise, as I WILL NOT update anymore ADOBE products until resolved. Turning off ALL Adobe update programs.

Respectfully,

Steve

I branched your post to a new discussion topic as this is a different issue from the topic (Flash Player Malware) that you originally posted to.

We're investigating.

Thank you for separating my comments into a new topic / discussion.  Sorry, I included them in another topic.  It was the first related one I found.  I last tried too update the flash player last night. And I still get the virus detected.  Very concerned.  Please let me know when you discover the issue.  Another reply from Adobe staff, stated to update my antivirus or disable it all together.  It is updated with latest definitions, and I will not disable it, too install a possible infected file.  Thank you for your assistance.

Respectfully,

Steve
