saying the web site wants to install Flash player on my computer. I already have the latest version of Flash Player installed. Clicking the 'allow' button does nothing but mkae the popup go away until a new page opens then it comes back. This is very  annoying and distracting. How do I get rid of it?

It's malware or "adware". Run a thorough virus scan.

Look for ANY type of "Application" or "Install" manager that you DIDN'T knowingly install... ESPECIALLY one called "File.org"

Uninstall it if you find it.
