PC won't download adobe flash player?

i have been having some trouble recently with pc and it won't download adobe. i can't use youtube, it keeps coming up that i need to download the flash player, so i click on that. then the thing at the top comes up, sayin the following website wants to install the add-on. so i click on this and the whole pc freezes and then nothing happens so i have cross off the page and go to my home page. please help me with this. thanks

Update:

sorry, i forgot to mention that it won't download from the adobe home page either. also once i have clicked on the add-on bit that comes up at the top of the page, the whole pc crashes and i have to start again. thanks for those who have answered though :-)

    Never use a sites link for getting adobe flash, go to adobe.com and get it from there instead.

    Usually it should let you download adobe flashplayer just fine.

    The add on pops up because you dont have adobe flash player installed.

    Its just prompting you to install it. What browser do you use?

    Sometimes if you use Internet Explorer, it may cause problems.

    I usually use Firefox. If you dont want to download adobe flashplayer from the official adobe website, you can download it from another trusted website.

    You can just do a simple search on it. It all depends on the web browser you use.
