Can't install adobe flash player

Question

i am not a techie, so the previous threads dont help me much -- not basic enough, i guess.   anyway, i cant seem to install adobe flash player.   i often click on a website or something, and it wont run because it says i need adobe flash player (had it before -- dont know what happened to ti).   when i follow the steps to download flash player, my computer freezes up and IE shuts down.  whats up, and how might i go forward?   and thanks in advance for helping out a non-techie.

Well, that should mean that nothing is running in realtime and should not interfere as McAfee would. I think this version of Ad-Aware was an On-Demand, you ran it when you wanted to, it didn't run automatically, is that correct?
Was the HJT just on the Desktop?
When you left click on Ad-Aware what happens? We can remove it, but it isn't causing a problem now so we'll do that later.
Did you have any ad block? What about pop-up blocker software installed?
In your Manage Add ons, the All add ons, can you pull out all ActiveX Controls(list them?) If not don't worry about it.
When you first began having problems, did you try to Install an older version of Flash Player thinking that would work?
Are there any other Anti-Virus/Spyware that you had installed before that wasn't Uninstalled that may still be running in realtime?
I'm trying to determine what caused the ActiveX Control error.
Do you know how to find the Flash folder? If not, I do. Just tell me.
Thanks,

     P.S. I just noticed your last post. I'll check on that Wise Uninstall. Someone had that and I forgot what it was for. Will have to find the thread, first I had ever heard of it. Thanks
