    Default Syswow64 and adobe virus detected by kaspersky! help me!

    After a few days of using my new computer, i decided to scan it with Kaspersky. It detected 6 active threats.

    THESE:

    as you can, they come from flash 9Adobe and a folder called syswow64. can anyone please tell me if these are false and r safe? I didnt know adobe software had viruses, and idk what this syswow64 folder is. If you dont have an answer, can you redirect me to a site where i can?

    kaspersky thinks everything is a virus, if you got it off from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ then your fine.
