Possible trojan in updating in VirtualBox

(1/1)

hkn:
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.

trinidad:
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?

hkn:
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.
