Title: avast won't allow flash player upgrade! Help!
Post by: peewoddin on January 30, 2013, 06:37:58 PM

I've tried three times to upgrade flash, but avast kicks in immediately and blocks the installation.  Can anyone give me some advice?  THANKS!!!

No worries, it should work fine as it's only the adobe web installer that causes the problem, the stand alone I directed you to always works for me.

Make sure you unclick the install McAffee if you are asked in the install window or you'll end up with 2 AV's on your machine.

Already solved. No more detections for these installers. Thank you Avast!
