Software Download / Update Issues

I installed Bitdefender 2010 internet security apporx. 2 week ago. Ever since then, I am having issues updating software. For example, I cannot download and update to the latest adobe flash player. Not in Firefox and not in IE 7. I never had issues with this before installing bitdefender.


Any suggestions on workaround would be most appreciated.


Windows XP SP 3


Firefox 3.6.8
