Flash player free update

A flash player update keeps popping up at the worst times and redirects my browser to a site called http://softwareupdate.installupgradesoft4everworks.space/ . It says there is a new version available when I am running the latest update. I will not click on the "OK" button to continue since the web address has nothing to do with Adobe. It has all the markings of the Adobe site but I will not bite on it since Adobe update has a separate popup when I boot up my pc. What is this and can Adobe track it down to find out how to get rid of it and the site.

Thanks while I am running malware removal,

Dan

Thank you for reporting.  That is definitely not an Adobe site.  I have forwarded it to our fraud department for follow-up

To follow on to Maria, I would highly recommend running the following free scan multiple times, until it comes back clean

I have ran Windows Defender and MalWareBytes 3 times each. I ran AdAware twice and I have a current paid version of McAfee LiveSafe running and have scanned using that. I have found nothing. I play Risk on Pogo. I am unable to play a full game any longer since this site pops up. Has anyone discovered anything?
