Creative Cloud Update Virus?

[zigzaggy]

Webroot secure anywhere detects the creative cloud update creativecloudset-up.exe as a trojan virus.Has adobe been hacked or is this a false positive?

i haven't seen anyone else complaining about a cc update so it's unlikely there's an infected adobe file from adobe.com.  otoh, where did you get that file?

Zemana reports malware, but Norton does not detect a virus.

And, I know you'll ask so I'll tell you: i downloaded the Creative Cloud app directly from my Adobe account 0n 2022-08-21 at approximately 10:19PM PDT

if you downloaded from a url in the adobe.com domain using https, it's not infected.

saying you downloaded directly from your adobe account doesn't insure the above.
