For a few days now, .app installation files for Flash (which I already have installed) have been turning up unbidden on my desktop at a rate of a few every hour, until they litter the desktop. I don't remember the update process being anything like this in the past, though I can't recall how it usually works. Is there anything legit about this, or is it a virus? I've tried to attach screenshots, but they seem to be too large. There is no such thing as a virus for OS X. I absolutely DO NOT CARE what anyone else says, or who they are. There is no such thing. The DMG for Flash will only "show up" on your desktop if you download it. That can happen when you click on a link disguised as a video, or an image, but Adobe doesn't download them automatically. If your Flash Player is up to date, you can delete any DMG that does download. You don't need it.
