If you already installed it from official websiteGet Flash then its okay,bcause of the current updates ae coming on (since the current version of flash is 18.0.0.194) . So,it shows a false positive message which can be ignored.

Should get the Flash player from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html instead of https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ so as to not get McAfee.

The Plugins Check page is manually updated so sometimes there can be a conflict on versions it is checking for and what is current.
