Clicked "update " for flashplayer and got a virus


i got automatic update adobe flashplayer , clicked , got virus. have mcafee virus protection , didn't catch it. mcafee wants $89.99 remove , not happy. deleted adobe flashplayer computer , tried reinstall mcafee won't let through , sends message saying flashplayer has virus / tojan. ? no kidding.  cable company told me call number , want $149 rid of virus. do ? don't plan on paying rid of virus.  use windows vista , tried installing flashplayer update flashplayer 11.

 

thanks adobe

adobe not, , never has been, in business, or practice of distributing viruses.
wherever got "update" from, not legitimate adobe flash installer, , didn't come site or company.

while it's regrettable system infected, must understand there literally thousands of "fake" updates out there, (illegally used) adobe logos. adonbe can't keep or remove them before more pop take place.

 

the following links guaranteed legitimate, 100% virus free.

flash player activex (internet explorer)

flash player plug-in (all other browsers)

 

if mcafee shows either of these contain virus, it's "false positive".

 

download tdsskiller kaspersky. it's free , it'll rid of malware.
