aloha,

I've received several of the above iterations of presumably flash player updates, however upon checking with the adobe flash url, my V is current.  What are these and who should I be contacting if these are forgeries or malware?

My OS    WIN7 (x64)

My Browser     Mozilla Firefox V. 20.0.1 (up to date)

Adobe flash Player     V.11.7.700.169 (up to date)

How did you "receive" these?  They are definitely not from Adobe.

Aloha Pat,

Thanks for your interest...

These have popped up looking like an Adobe flash Player Update splash screen telling me that I need to update.  They occur when I have my browser open and tuned into either Adobe TV, Lynda.com or Creative Cow do some refresher training.  On May 3, I downloaded 6 of these updates.

I decided to try to load the latest v (the 1 id'ed above) and when I started loading I thought better of it and cancelled the load and began my investigation.

I have since deleted them from my computer and my browser download history.  the might be in the windows temp file someplace but I don't know if that will give me the URL id they came from.

I'll try again later to see I if I get them again and try to ID the URL.

Do you have any further interest?
