You should not install flash on Android, it is no longer being maintained/updated by Adobe. PoliticAverse Mar 2015 #1

It's 2015, a website that needs flash needs to be redesigned.

Are you sure DU needs flash for the jury system?

If you must install it you can find old archived versions for Android on the adobe archive download page here:

Flash isn't required for anything on DU, not even posts with youtube or vimeo videos included.

I wouldn't use an old version of Flash for anything. It's too susceptible to malware, and you may in fact already be infected if the DU jury requests are not working.

I'm not familiar with Android malware cleanup tools. Maybe someone else here can help.
