Fake Adobe Flash Player & Fake MS Supporters in MS Edge April 2018

I just bought a new Dell computer. After installed and updated it to Windows 10 version 1709, I used browser MS Edge to surf the net. My starting page is always msn.com.

After reading some pages on MS News, I got a fake Adobe Flash Player asked me to download it. its file is FlashPlayer.hta (1.9 KB). My computer has McAfee Security antivirus software. McAfee has scanned my comp so many times and found nothing; however, fake
Adobe Flash Player & fake MS supporters popup everyday. I don't know why McAfee cannot find the problem to fix it.

I went to Programs and Features to look for any Adobe which was installed with my new comp with these updates. I cannot find any.

On MS Edge, I set up "Use Adobe Flash Player" Off. I checked extension, there are none. I did disk cleanup to delete anything in download folder, temporary files ... I tried almost everything to identify and remove it but all failed.

Today, I snap it pictures and its website address and on my Task Manager under MS Edge
