My System Preferences for Flash Player are set to 'Allow Adobe to Install Updates'. 'Ignore ownership on this volume' is greyed out and has a check mark. Name & Extension has a greyed out 'Flash Player' When I select 'get info' on the Flash Player icon on my desktop, it says: So then I dragged and dropped the icon from the my desktop to the 'Insert other media' box, and what appears looks like a series of images to me. I tried uploading the file from my desktop and it doesn't show up as an option to upload from your 'choose files.' button. I have run the free version of Malwarebytes while the flash player icon is on my desktop, and it says my computer is clean. I always throw it in the trash and empty the trash because my Flash Player is set to update automatically so I believe this is a fake installer. Hello, I periodically am having an icon appear on my desktop that looks just like the Adobe Flash Player installer.
