I keep getting a message from a Hitman Pro indicating the files sqlite3.dll and winclient32.exe in the Flash Player folder are suspicious. What file should be in that folder?

What files are in the Program Files (X86) folder for Flash Player for Windows 8.1?

That's it.

Flash Player installs to C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash.

And there is no sqlite3.dll or winclient32.exe in either of those folders.

I was not completely correct, the file folder I see is caled Flash Update. It is not under the Adobe folder, it is in the main directory for Program Files (x86). I am suspicious since I got the updaterspro.exe virus last week and am still trying to clean up.

I have no such folder.


You probably downloaded a fake, and have malware now.

Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)

Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Those are the ONLY legitimate updaters that aren't accessed from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

They are the FULL installers we link to here to avoid bundled software (Google Chrome or McAffee Security Scan).

Bookmark those links.

Once you get things cleaned up, use them
