Hello Wojislav,
Thank you for your prompt response. Yes, I can do that but don't you think that it would be preferable if the installer/update script didn't evoke this response? None of my other software updates does and while I would like to trust people, these days it gets harder and harder when folks are willing to lie and cheat at the drop of a hat and without compunction. It does not help either that false sites (Adobe mimics) have been installing Trojan Horses so it would be safer all around to remove that foible. It is just not very good. Or at least, it does not look very good, which amounts to the same thing at first glance.
Thanks again for you concern.

It is obviously a false positive; is it still happening?
If yes, I recommend that you download and install the update manually from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars_hea...
