who else is getting "blocked plug-in" - help!

Question

Is anyone else as frustrated as I am?  I keep getting "blocked plug-in" for no apparent reason.  I have tried to download Adobe Flash-player many different ways and my MacBook won't do it.  Everything was working fine until a few days ago.  I emptied my cache - could this have caused the problem?  Any help at all would be very much appreciated.  Thank you.

Download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac /install_flash_player_11_osx.dmg

If it won't download directly, right click and "Save as"… DO NOT mount the DMG or run the installer yet!

Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins

Trash the Flash Player.plugin file from there

Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe

Trash the Flash Player folder (the whole folder)

Empty the trash

Reboot

Mount the DMG and run the installer.

BEFORE opening any Flash content in Safari, open Safari>Preferences, and check the Security tab to make sure "Allow all other plugins" is checked.
