I have been trying to load Flash player and I get an error "Failed to initialize" at what appears to be approximately 50% completion. Does anyone know what this is and what I can do to circumvent it?
Thanks,
Wayne

Hi
Reason: Antivirus software from vendors like Comodo, Jiangmin, and Rising are incorrectly identifying the Adobe Flash Player installer as malware. False reports from these vendors include “TrojWare.Win32.Trojan.Agent.Gen,” “Trojan/JmGeneric.bcy,” and “Suspicious.” Users are also reporting “Failed to Initialize” errors and the installer is getting quarantined.
Workaround: Antivirus software vendors and service providers are currently addressing this issue so that the installer is recognized as being legitimate. Ensure that your antivirus signatures are up-to-date.
If the issue persists, use the direct links to download Flash Player installer.
