when I try to update my flash player at 47% downloaded I get error message "cannot contact reliable source" I've been told to uninstall my flash player and try to download the newer version, but the old one works and I am afraid I will still not be able to download the newer one. I keep being asked to download the newer version and keep getting the error, it is maddening. Is there anything short of dynamite that will move this to a level at which something useful happens?

when I click on where you say download the installer I get a page that says click for active x installer, and when I do I get a page that says "The website declined to show this webpage" I cannot download an installer. It looks like there's nothing I can do.

What browser are you using? I assume since you're trying to download the activeX version it's IE.
Have you tried using another browser like Firefox to download it?

My security system F-secure, is telling me that

" This web site has been reported as harmful.

I did try to download it with Google Chrome but no luck. The old version works so I will probably stick with that. Sometimes I've found nothing seems to work

Your security system is aptly named. Primarily because it's "F'd".

My recommendation? Dump F-secure. Get AVG. It's far less invasive and it WON'T TRY TO "PROTECT" YOU FROM THINGS YOU NEED.
