Adobe Reader download says it is infected with a virus

[rdriggs86]

While trying to download adobe reader through chrome, I get a message that the download failed because a virus was detected in the download. I went through the offical website to get to the download page at https://get.adobe.com/reader/, so I know I didn't accidently get it from a third-party website. I included a screen shot to give more details about the virus. Is the another way I can get adobe reader? I'm trying to set up an image for cloning.

Windows Defender "Trojan/Win32/Skeeyah.AIMTB

Can't install Reader.

This is a brand new Windows 10 HP.

Download site is "get.adobe.com/reader/download/.............

I'm getting the same issue and tried it on several computeres. Somethings up and Adobe should address this.

There is no virus. Windows Defender needs to update their definitions. This happens once in a while with many applications.

Can't honestly say it was Defender's fault or not. After installing the latest windows updates, I still had the issue. Turned the computer off, let it sit over the weekend, and tried again this morning with success. According to the computer, no updates were installed since I last tried Friday, but hey. It working now so I can't complain.

On Friday 11-15-18 I tried to download Adobe Reader to Windows 10. The filename was readerdc_en_ra_crd_install.exe. Windows Defender said the file had a virus, Trojan:Win32/Skeeyah.AIMTB. Couldn't download, couldn't install. On Monday 11-18-19 I downloaded Adobe Reader to Windows 10. The Adobe download page asked me for my OS. This is new, I didn't see that question before. I selected Windows 10. I downloaded a different filename, readerdc_en_xa_install.exe. I did not get a virus warning while downloading or installing. I don't think the 11-15-19 virus warning was Windows Defender's fault.
