I have VirtualBox and did updates yesterday and my Avast anti-virus detected a possible trojan (ELF:Agent-RA) in the Adobe Flash Player-plugin update and stopped the updates. Just want to check if this is a known detection and if not this might be something to be careful about installing.

Could be taken as Mirai by your AV scanner. See below.

Are you playing any games that are asking for flash player updates in order to play?

No, I dont play any games; the AV just picked it up when Lite was updating and the  AV blocked the FlashPlayer plugin update. I think the rest of the updates was correct.
