This is an ATTACK - they are trying to trick you into installing malware. Do not click on the link, and do not visit the site again. (Microsoft now do updates to Flash for Edge if needed, you cannot download them).

By not going to the site. The message is not true, and not based on checking: it's an attack that will keep coming. Just don't go there. Be alert for attacks like this, millions of sites are infected.
