Security and Update Notification pop ups

With the recent very mischievous scam email which is supposed to contain a link for Barack Obama's acceptance speech, many people were concerned with their Flash Player and it is updating process. As you know, the link of the scam will lead them to a page, but he warns that they can not play the movie without an update of Flash Player. Of course, most people click on the link and instead of a Flash Player update, they install a recorder Trojan horse of strike (one report is a rootkit).
Since we informed people of this attack, they said that they recently got the pop-up Flash Player on their computer with the notice they need to update their Flash Player to the latest version. My Help Desk said that they have never seen that before, so they are concerned, it is another method of attack.
Adobe Flash Player are looking for updates and notify the user that an update is necessary?
We told our clients to go to adobe.com and download directly from there to make sure there is not a security risk. However, we know that many of them will probably click on the links in a pop-up window or e-mail.
Thanks for any insight of this.

We have an automatic update mechanism that would do this...

If you have access to the machines you can control it:
