Is This a Real Flash Player Warning?

[i_am_jim]

This warning came up this afternoon.  It's located immediately above the systray.  I don't know how to get rid of it.  It smells suspiciously like malware.  Is this a real Adobe warning?  If so, what is it warning me against since nothing is running.   How do I get rid of it?  I've killed it in in Task Manager but it comes back immediately.

Hi,

I am from Adobe Flash Runtime (Flash Player and AIR) engineering but I don't know such UI. I asked the team but so far we don't see that is from our software. Can you run malware check to be sure your machine is OK? If you can detect the running process and which program causing this dialog, that would be great to know. Thank you for asking.

I'd run three virus checkers before I posted the message. 

I think I figured it out a few hours ago.  Some time ago I installed a program named Startup Defender which watches for programs that add items that run in the background.  I had not added a new update or dowload of Flash Player, but for some reason it suddenly decided to add a new utility to the startup set.  Startup Defender caught it and threw up that warning.  I had forgotten about the program and it had never flagged anything before so I had never seen one of its warning screens and it did not identify itself so I didn't know what it was.  Thanks for looking into it and I'm sorry I wasn't quicker about posting a Never Mind but I had decided my message had rolled off unnoticed into history.
