I have just encountered this problem as well.. an update was presented upon restarting my computer, just like any update. As soon as the update completed, no site has recognized that Flash Player is installed, and the auto-installation of flash player ensues.

Additionally, Flash Player was functioning without problem before the update. Something must have changed with the update provided...

Information:

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

Flash Player version: Supposedly 11.2, though not even Adobe can confirm this for me. I know I had 11.2 before the "update"

Browser: IE9 and Firefox

I am logged in as admin.

I use AS3, so I'm not foreign to flash player or how to use it. Things I've tried to correct the problem include:
- Downloading update from get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

- Uninstalling Flash Player (ActiveX and Plugin), then reinstalling from the aforementioned link

Nothing I've done has worked, so I've turned to asking here, hoping someone can help.

The only problem I can surmise at this poitn in time, seeing as I'm only one of a few with this problem, is that it's a virus of some sort... but I've run several scans on this computer using several different software, turning up nothing.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[EDIT]

Additional information:

Using Flash CS4, I can run SWF files in sandbox no problem.

Outside of Flash, I can run SWF files, but they are labeled as running "Adobe Flash Player 10".

Not quite sure what you mean by "auto-installation"; it's not something I have ever seen before.
