This is a site that lots of users here go to for updates, I was just browsing inside the Adobe site. your not to blame!
One of the Trusted Advisor's said to post the pic here. so mbam can research the prob.
mbam can contact Adobe and let them know whats up.... I got hit with 3 trojans. all are removed
don't worry about it. I tested the download & that was clean! regards....

Yikes!!
I read this post yesterday (or maybe the day before, I forget) before you replied about the warning you got. Afterwards I visted adobe (adobe.com/products) and clicked on three links on that page - the icons for get adobe reader, the get flash player, and get shockwave player (the little icons to the right of the screen). I wanted to check if I had the latest versions. My resident shield was not triggered (AVG 8.5 free) on any of those pages, and I did a routine MBAM quick scan a few hours later and it was clear (though I realise that might not mean anything if AVG & MBAM were not aware of the threat at that time). I did not actually download any updates as my versions are all good.
My question is, do you know if the adobe web pages I have listed above were infected? If they are/were - will a new MBAM scan find any trojans or other nasties now that MBAM are on to it?
Scary that a *trusted* website has gotten compromised somehow.
(Hopefully this post makes sense! Oh, and if it makes a difference - I had adblock+ & NoScript enabled in my FF browser)

@ mbyuser its ok. I guess no one looked just above the pic! The address was several clicks away from the download. And my AV dosen't pick up anything on it anymore. It was most likely fixed.
@ yardbird
do you know if anyone was able to contact Adobe?

no, I'm sure someone did, this is what? the 3rd time. The download link is ok. Or you would have read about it on several websites. thousands of people+ hit that download. I did on 3 pc's -- alls well.
now you may want to contact user Maniac
and ask him if his post is related to the site just above the pic?
