Why would my upgrading my flash player have a virus attached to it?

I have been trying to upgrade my flash player.  It seems to have a virus attached to it as marked by McAfee each and every time.
Of course it still needs to be upgraded.

It's a bad definition by McAfee.
Try disabling it, and then download the FULL installer:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Run the installer, and THEN re-enable McAfee.

  • I have been unable to upgrade adobe flash player software.

    I am using a recently purchase MacBook Air running Yosemite 10.10.1. Upon receiving a warning that I needed to upgrade Adobe Flash Player Software, I down loaded  and installed the latest version several times. I still, however, continue to receive the "Need to Upgrade" message when trying to view online videos.

    A genuine alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this page. Follow the instructions on the page in that case. Otherwise, the alert is fake and someone is trying to scam you into installing malware. If you see fake update alerts on more than one website, ask for instructions.

    After downloading, you need to run the installer.
    Could you please visit this site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If Flash Player is installed in your machine, it will give you the version number.

  • Upgrade my flash player in my ibad, upgrade my flash player in my ibad

    HOW CAN I UPGRADE THE FLASH PLAYER IN MY IBAD  ?

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
    Puffin
    SkyFire
    Photon Flash
    Browse2Go
    iSwifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • Why iOS devices has no flash player that's why android is selling more!

    Why iOS devices has no flash player that's why android is selling more!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    But Adobe has stopped the Flash development for Android, so now Flash is only compatible with Windows, OS X and Linux. You can use Flash on Android, but you will be using an old version and it will be dangerous for your device
