Osx.Malware.Agent-5858895-0 Found in Flash Player 24

Question

I downloaded Flash Player for my Mac twice this week, I scanned it with my anti virus before installing it and it was Okay, the next morning my anti virus scanned and found Flash Player.dmg Osx.Malware.Agent-5858895-0 and 4F26946B055E7977B054F012203C5C52C11A0E3C-blob Swf.Exploit.CVE_2015_5123-1 and put both in Virus Vault.

I deleted the download twice, I can't seem to figure out what is happening, the only changes i made where on the Flash Manager Settings Page, on the website privacy panel.

Hi,Is Flash Player.dmg the name of the file you downloaded? If so, it is not the name of any official Flash Player installer posted to adoe.com. Where did you download Flash Player.dmg from Before any file is posted it is checked for viruses. I suspect you downloaded a malicious installer from a non-Adobe site.--Maria<edited>
