Before installation of "flasplayer 13x32" recieved Security message re" it being an executable file that may contain viruses and codes that can corrupt my computer".

Downloaded "flashplayer 13x32". A security message appeared from Microsoft "This is an executable file and may contain viruses or codes that will harm your computer". Question: If its corrupted, why did Adobe Website download it.??

"This is an executable file and may contain viruses or codes that will harm your computer".

The keyword is "MAY"...

NOWHERE in that does it say "This is a virus."

What you're seeing is a standard Windows warning about ANY executable file you can download.

Adobe isn't, and never has been, in the business of making malware. That said, there are literally millions of fake downloads of things like Reader, Shockwave and Flash Player.

Bottom line: If you don't trust the download... DON'T USE the download.

There are two sources to trust for Adobe freeware:

For Flash Player - Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe

For Reader - Adobe - Adobe Reader Distribution

You can bookmark those links and use them ANY time you get an update notification, to know you're getting the download directly from the source.
