Installed the latest flashplayer 2(?) days ago without a problem.
Looks like a FP in the latest definiations.

Just downloaded the latest Flash player and had no problems.
Seems to be fixed.

VPS 20140708-0 still has the problem.

The problem is not with the full installers but with the installers through the website.

I see. Thanks for the info Eddy.

It's not allowing me to install the latest Flash Player version either; should I just try again later today or wait for an Avast! Update?

Either wait or use the full installer.

Thanks, Asyn.
So it's definitely a false positive?

1. Thanks, Asyn.
2. So it's definitely a false positive?

1. You're welcome.
2. Yep.

One more question. If I download the full IE & plug-in versions, do I opt for the exe installers or the msi? (I'm not familiar with this flash player update route.)

For a single system use the .exe installer.

Ok. Thanks again! :-)
