Default Flashplayer update popup...

A couple times so far I have opened a new thread and as I am scrolling thru it, the page is re-directed to a page for a flashplayer update.
Curious if others have had the same thing happen.
Next time I see it I'll grab a screenshot.
edit: found it in my history.

It's either from a rogue ad or something installed on your machine.

As you can see, this is something that targets mac users and is not limited to any one website as it could be due to something installed on your machine or a bad ad:

Probably a rogue ad because the only site it has happened on is this one.
I'll check my system for malware.
Thanks.
