"Flash Player Update" after updating Spybot?

[RandomUser]

After updating today, I went to Immunize but there was nothing to immunize. Then I closed Spybot, and the Spybot Resident popped up a question about changing a registry setting and then I hit Allow at the same time I noticed it was a "Flash Player Update". I found this strange so I went to the registry and I find that:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
Software\
Microsoft\
Windows\
CurrentVersion\
RunOnce\
FlashPlayerUpdate

is set to:

C:\
Program Files\
Opera\
Program\
Plugins\
NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe -p

A quick Google search reveals that there exists malware related to NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe. I have not restarted my computer.

Is this part of a legit Spybot update? Or is there something fishy?

The same thing happened on a second computer.

i got that to, but because windows defender detected it to be a known registry change, i allowed the registry change and restarted and it asked me to install the new version of flash player. u gotta be on the Internet when u click install. so ya, i think thats what u got there. could b wrong.
