Md5 hash value for install_flash_player_osx.dmg: edec8c6e91d3263e066f1d0ba65d9c8b If you still have the installer, you can verify the md5/sha256 hash values, and the digital signature on the app. We have a secure deployment process and all files are regularly checked for viruses. In all the years I've been working on the product, I've not seen it happen. It's highly unusual for a Flash Player installer, delivered from Adobe servers, to have a virus. Message was edited by: Jeromie Clark - Removed the blue text background I am puzzled as to how this could have happened with the Adobe Flash update, and are there any other effects of this virus? Does anyone else know about this?

Remove Advanced Mac Cleaner virus from Mac OS XĪpple Support told me to continue using Malware Bytes and install MacOS High Sierra, which I am now doing. I contacted Apple Support about this and they are unaware of this problem but I did find this website: I changed my user password on my mac, and also downloaded and used Malware Bytes, which recognized Advanced Mac Cleaner as spyware/adware and quarantined it. Unfortunately I deleted the icon in my Dock and don't remember what it was. Looking at Safari's history, I found this link appearing just after I had visited Apple's webpage: Finally, there was a link button in the Safari favorites bar that I didn't recognize and didn't make sense. After I downloaded the update, there was a page from Advanced Mac Cleaner (which I have not installed) to clean my Mac, installed new icon in my Dock that I didn't recognize, and changed the settings on my Dock. I did the update, and then noticed intermittent reloading of Safari and then all my tabs on Safari were deleted.

While visiting, I got a message to update Adobe Flash.
