The design is so different from prior installsĪnother difference is that the previous Flash Verison 32 installer ("AdobeFlashPlayer_32_ast_install.dmg") is only 803KB in size. This last "Update preferences" graphic was most alarming. Using "install_flash_player_osx.dmg", the text, sequence of steps, the download bars and graphic designs were considerably different from all prior install experiences, Some screenshots: I started getting concerned however when I launched the new installer. Note: the older file downloaded from " " and the newer installer downloaded from " " The different format of the file name was concerning, but I rechecked that I was on the correct Adobe website (not a fake) and viewed the file path for the download. The new installer download from Adobe was labeled: "install_flash_player_osx.dmg". So I went back to the " " webpage and downloaded a new installer assuming the installer needed updating. I ran my existing "AdobeFlashPlayer_32_ast_install.dmg" installer, but it would not work.

Recently after upgrading to OS 10.14.6, I was prompted to update Flash to the most current version (32.0.0.321). The path to that file was: (viewing file with Mac "GetInfo" command) Since December 2018, I had been using the flash player installer for Version 32 for the Mac which downloads from the Get Adobe Flashplayer website: "AdobeFlashPlayer_32_ast_install.dmg" Running OS 10.14.6 after recently upgrading from OS 10.12.6. I have always updated directly in this manner.

I instead closed that window, then I directly accessed the Adobe Home Page, from where I linked to. I did not update from that notification window. The problem developed after I responded to what seemed like a legitimate screen notice that my Flash Player was outdated and needed to be updated.

I am concerned that I now have a malware infection. I am concerned that I am somehow being redirected from the legitimate Adobe download site to a bogus download server. It WAS downloaded from the Adobe Website. I recently noticed a major change in the behavior of my Adobe Flash Player Installer.
