avast downloading viruses

Avast software update said I needed to update flashplayer so I hit update on the Avast updater . I had scan my laptop right before to make sure there was no viruses after I did the software updater I scanned with Avast and I had a virus 3 viruses from the flashplayer Avast had just updated for me what the heck people

And what was The virus name(s) ?

I doubt it was virus, if so avast would go bananas, i guess maybe some PUP = Possible Unwanted Program

All virus are malware but all malware are not virus :wink:
