Thanks so much for responding, Donk. No, I did all that already and it doesn't block the download of the file and even so I closed it and tried downloading a fresh copy just in case. The insecure comment was from Secunia Personal Software Inspector. It tells me when programs are insecure, end of life or patched among other things.
Anyway, the problem lies when I try to execute the download. Everything goes okay until the Adobe Flash Player Installer opens and the Install button isn't accessible. The Read "whatever" and the Quit button are active. I've been through everything I can find everywhere and at one point they say do a manual install but when I go that road the Adobe FP Installer still opens to the same result. I'm Flash-Player-less right now and can't access a bunch of stuff I use regularly. Any further ideas?
