an addon failed to load (adobe flash)

Hi, just reinstalled avast! firefox 8.1 works great but many sites, 3d guru for one fails to start
adobe flash on ie9 only, i get a pop up stating, “an addon failed to load” if I disable all shields manually it still does it, if I disable all it works fine?
re installed adobe, rest ie9 still doing it
any ideas?
Cheers.

turning off windows firewall seems to have fixed it

Sorry, this turned out to be a issue with spyware blaster.
