Fake Adobe Flash Player update notification

I get it frequently from this site. It automatically opens a new browser tab titled "Update Flash Player" that has a fake flash update notification. It looks fairly convincing. It automatically downloads an installation.exe file that my antivirus scan says is malicious. I ban the domain hosting it in my firewall, but it seems to be a game of whack-a-mole... they keep coming from new domains.

fastvideoupgrader.com
easymovieupdate.net
program.updatergo.com
simplecomputerupgrade.info

Here's an example of one of them with its full URL -- do not click on this link unless you can control downloads or quarantine them, and certainly do not run the .exe it downloads.
