Flash Player with IE8 problems

Question

I have Vista 64 bit and   McAfee security suite.  The system came with IE8, and has been running Flash  Player
until Tuesday.  Now I get  the white box with the little red x.  It says I don't have FP and should  download it.
Also, embedded pictures in  e-mail do the same.
When I started IE, my  homepage is yahoo, a box appeared that said 'A problem occurred, the page would  restart'.
When I clicked ok, a file  started to download and ran a setup program.  McAfee normally asks if I want to  allow this,
but not this time.  It  created a folder in Program Files X86\e-set.  The scan started id'ing everything  as a threat and
I should click on 'fix'.  I  couldn't kill the program,  I couldn't delete the .exe.  I was able to rename  it, but when I tried
to soft boot the scan id'd  taskmgr as a threat.  I cycled power and the scan didn't restart.
I found a malware scan on  MS support and downloaded and ran it.  It also removed a file named Rogue  fakesystem32.
That's when I started to  have these problems.
I can't remember the name  of the bad scan, but it said it was created by Heavenstools.
I downloaded a beta version  of 64 bit FP, but after reading this board, I checked and it was in SYS32 and  not in
SYSWOW64.  I copied them  over.
The MS scanner removed the the problem software.  Everything else works, I'm
using the PC now.  FP works in FF and Google browsers.
I can't run any player on IE, Youtube, EBAUMSWORLD, newspaper crosswords
etc.
McAfee did nothing on the malware.  I ran a quick scan AND a scan on the
e-set folder itself.  I can't remember how or where I found the MS scan.  It
was on MS/support.
I've tried getting into Adobe on the other browsers too.

*Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Open Flash and post back all files
listed there. The NPSWF files you'll need to right click on and then click
on Properties to obtain the version numbers.*
FlashInstall  4/30/11  text file
*While you are there, replace "System32" with SysWOW64 and post back the
files listed there.*
    Do you mean all of System32 or just \Adobe  and \Macromed?

*Using IE8, go to Tools>Manage addons under "Show"(very light text) look in
all 4 categories for Shockwave Flash Object. Is it Installed and Enabled? If
so what Flash Player version is it?*
No.  In Toolbars Extensions there is Adobe PDF Link Helper   ver
10.0.1.434
*That Rogue Fakesystem32, was more than likely a Trojan. Now is that folder
still in Program files X86\e-set?*
              No.
*After you obtain the above information for me, go to
http://www.malwarebytes.org
and download and SAVE this to your Desktop.*
*Click on the Update feature and allow it to update. Then close it.*
         Waiting for your answer about replacing Sys32.
*Next, close all browser windows. Disable McAfee this way:*
