My computer is an HP-G71 running Windows 7. I've updated to the newest version of Flash in Firefox, Chrome and IE11 but sometimes I get a prompt to update it when I go to certain sites like Youtube or Facebook. Sometimes I can get to a site on one browser and not the other or I can get to the site on a particular browser seemingly at random. It seems to be affecting every computer on my wireless network as well. I have an HP-635 running Firefox and it has the same issue. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the problem persists. I've ran virus scans as well and removed everything I've found.
Since there is no Flash Player for Kindle, I'm pretty sure your router has been hacked.
If you're seeing this:
SPECIFICALLY saying "Flash Player PRO".... Then you're compromised.

Give it a clean install: How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?

Copied
FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl, FlashPlayerApp.exe, and FlashPlayerInstaller.exe
I don't see any of those in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\.

I actually had this problem a month or two ago and a clean install worked but it isn't helping this time. It'll get a little better for a while but eventually it will start prompting me to update flash again. It's even affecting my Kindle and my Playstation 3. I was thinking that it might be a problem with my router/modem or my ISP?

Yep, that's what I get. I assume getting a new router and setting up a new network would solve the problem?

Unless, of course, your router can be "flashed" and reloaded with the firmware. Most can't, so it'll probably be a replacement.

Alright. Thanks for the help.
