Flash Player stop working and won't reinstall

All of the flash content on any web page stop working since I installed Ad-aware and ran it with the latest updates.

I get a blank boxes with a small stamp in the top corner where the flash usually loads. And when I go to Marcomedia to the Flash Player download page, ( http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave...mcom/flash.html ) it wont detect anything for auto install.

Also when I go to the Flash Player tester page on Macromedia( http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/ ), the shockwave test works fine but the Flash test fails to display anything.

I've trying reinstalling everything already and still no go.

If anybody has a similar problem with spyware software please post. Thanks
