You can report possible FPs here: http://www.avast.com/contact-form.php
Installed the latest flashplayer 2(?) days ago without a problem.
Looks like a FP in the latest definiations.
Same problem here:

so I used full installer from here:

Edit:
Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.145 full installer:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
Just downloaded the latest Flash player and had no problems.
Seems to be fixed.
VPS 20140708-0 still has the problem.
The problem is not with the full installers but with the installers through the website.
I see. Thanks for the info Eddy.
It’s not allowing me to install the latest Flash Player version either; should I just try again later today or wait for an Avast! Update?
Either wait or use the full installer.
Thanks, Asyn. 
So it’s definitely a false positive?
One more question. If I download the full IE & plug-in versions, do I opt for the exe installers or the msi? (I’m not familiar with this flash player update route.)
For a single system use the .exe installer.
Ok. Thanks again!
NP Alicia.
They just solved it. Download the latest definitions of viruses and the problem will be fixed.
Thanks for the feedback.
Please note that Adobe has release a security update yesterday.
The latest version is 14.0.0.145.
avast’s software updater is not showing that there is a newer version.
At least not on my system.
Usually, it takes a few days to show up.
