It appears that there may be a difference in group properties when you download a file update using installed software versus download directly from the website itself.

Before installing it, I went to CCleaner and downloaded the latest version to compare, and noted that the Group was identified as "SYSTEM." - everything else about the 2 files was identical.

The authentic script from the Adobe website identified the Group or username as "SYSTEM" while the script that downloaded from the software already installed on my computer identified the Group or username as a series of numbers and dashes ((as an aside, I just downloaded a CCleaner update after a prompt from the installed version on my computer, and it too identified the Group with a similar series of numbers and dashes. I compared the 2 executables properties under the Security tab. I went to the official Adobe site afterwards and downloaded flashplayer in order to compare the files - the file name from the Adobe site was flashplayer32_a_install.exe (both this file and the first one that I installed were the exact same file size - there was just a slight difference in the file name: 32au_a versus 32_a ). Original file name: Adobe Download Manager.File description : Adobe Download Manager.I took a screen shot of the file properties, but not the hash unfortunately. If it still helps, the file was called flashplayer32au_a_install.exe and the prompt from my installed Flashplayer indicating an update for my flashplayer was available, appeared on . I will however save the link you provided and verify digital signatures in the future. I uninstalled the software shortly after I installed it, so unfortunately I can't give you the sha256 hash. There are plenty of third party clean-up tools, but they require some degree of faith. If someone logging your keystrokes means that you might lose your retirement savings or your house, probably better to just burn the whole thing down and start fresh. You need to do a gut-check about what you do with the machine, and what your risk tolerance is.

If I knew the exact filename, the corresponding sha256 hash and the download date, I could probably confirm with the team that it matches what was available at the time, but it's easier to just check the code signature of that file yourself. The names change over time, but again, it doesn't really matter because anyone can name a file anything. In the context of Flash Player, there's a distribution team that determines the individual file names.

My question for the community is how do I remove this from my system? Is there a fix? I uninstalled Flashplayer, deleted the executable, ran a full system scan with Bitdefender, but there is still malware on my computer. The fake file is called flashplayer32au_a_install.exe (I believe the legitimate file is flashplayer32_a_install.exe). I checked the properties, and it wasn't a system file like usual. I then researched the name, and it is malware.

I allowed the download, ran a Bitdefender scan on the executable (it was clean), and then permitted the installation (it appeared legitimate) however I became suspicious as soon as the update completed because the executable file did not disappear from my download directory, as it usually does. I was prompted to update my Adobe Flashplayer on.
