Bugs? Pop-ups with raw footage appearing after Adobe Flash Player down-loaded.

Hello! I am confused about what is appearing with my downloading Adobe Flash Player. I have used it before without problems but then I had to download it again to start holiday photos about 10 days ago. I immediately received pop-ups with raw footage (porn) on it. The ads said they were by 'bettersurf,' and 'done...' (something, I can't remember.) They would just pop-up in the middle of anything I was working on. I contacted Windows because it had a logo that looked like Adobe but it said that the windows media player needed to be updated. I'm good on all of that - no need to update. The only way to make it stop (I even blocked the sites from access, had the safety controls on 'strict' and parental safeguards on) was to turn off Adobe Flash Player. Well, I need to get the cards done and so I downloaded it again (with some difficulty I want to add even though I followed instructions to a 't'.) Sure enough I am getting pop-ups from the same ad company as before. I haven't yet seen porn but I'm suspicious. My system is 11.9.900.152 (64) Windows 7. Hopefully I have that right, I think that is the first no. When I check to see if Adobe Flash Player was downloaded correctly, etc. it verifies that it is. Can somebody help me? My daughter is young and I watch her when she is on the computer (I'm actually sitting right with her the whole time,) so I am positive she hasn't downloaded something wrong. And I want to add again that my settings are on strict, pop-ups turned OFF....and the pop-up regarding updating windows to have the flash player work correctly looks very much like a legit site - but I know it isn't.

Thank you so much for any words of advice.
