Flash Player is spamming my computer with ads....how do I stop this?

How do I stop Flash Player from spamming me with ads?   I uninstalled it but it persists.  A right click of the ads identifies flash player and takes me to a settings page.  Any ideas?

    To be 100% accurate... Flash Player IS NOT doing the spamming.

    You're infected with "adware" and it's USING Flash Player to bombard you, but Flash Player is only the vehicle, NOT the culprit.

    Run a THOROUGH scan for malware.

    uses Adobe Flash Player even thought my control panel says the player does

    not exist. Adds are not too bad but I do not like something going on out
