Report · Jan 27, 2014

Hi Folks,

i´m concerning about an update that i recently downloaded from:

with the following downloadlink:

it took a time to download it and afterwards i saw that the file occupied about 800mb!

Now i checked the same link another time and it resulted to be another file with only 1mb!

it seems to me like its a fake?

Thank for you help!

System is Win XP home

Browser Firefox 26.0

Flash plugin version 12.0.0.43

IS legitimate. It's the download site for Flash Player.

I have no idea how the download got to 800Mb. The "stub" installer is 1mb and it downloads a 17mb file for the full installer.

I don't use the "updater" myself. I prefer to use the FULL offline installers for my updating:
