As soon as I open IE I get IE Security pop-ups saying "A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer" it wants to run "FlashUtil10h_ActiveX.exe" and it constantly pops up no matter what I click. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled flash so I don't know what to do. It wasn't doing this last night.

Sounds like a virus. To start, download and run MalwareBytes. Don't worry, it won't interfere with any other security software you have installed (as far as I know).

Some viruses use flash as their gateway to your computer. Run the MBAM scan.

Good. Do you have a regular anti-virus program you use? I could recommend some free ones if you don't.

Have you done a full scan with MSE. No one AV is full proof, but two together are pretty close.

I did a search on my computer for that "FlashUtil10h_ActiveX.exe" thing and it's not even on my computer and yet it still tries to run it. Could it be a bug with a new flash version or something?
