Adobe Flash Player Install Manager Mac Malware



  1. May 15, 2016 The official Flash Player installer does have an app named Adobe Flash Player Install Manager.app in the Utilities directory, however, at this point, it's difficult, at best, to know if that file was created with the legitimate Flash Player installer or not. I recommend performing a clean uninstall.
  2. The Adobe Flash Player virus on Mac takes advantage of this and prompts web visitors of specific websites to update their Flash Player software. This trickery is less obvious compared to asking to install it on their computer because users are now wary of installing software from unknown sources.

Adobe's real Flash installer looks like this when run, has a Flash player icon, and is distributed in a disk image. Intego claims its VirusBarrier X6 anti-malware utility can detect and remove.

Never download Flash Player from anywhere but the Official Adobe website or from within System Preferences > Flash Player > Check for updates. There are many bogus Flash Player installs that will install malware.

Mac Cleanup Pro is not Apple. No Anti-Virus software or so-called “cleaning” apps are needed or recommended for Mac OS. They can conflict with Mac's own built-in security. At best they will slow your Mac by using unnecessary resources and at worst will bork your entire system.
