I go to the extensions part of Firefox, and that's what it says. It's version 11.3.7.0 of Flash Plugin. If I go to the Adobe website, it says I have the latest version and it's working. Is it really? Why does Firefox say its not?

I can't get rid of that in the extensions part of Firefox, even after I removed and reinstalled adobe (all products).

Very odd issue indeed. Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems click this link and read threw how to uninstall it and reinstall.

You could also try new Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data to see if something is corrupting the plug-ins report.

This malware is composed of one executable file and one extension. Although you disabled the extension, the executable file still does bad things.

So follow all the steps in the article about malware above.
