Question about new program

A site I have used for a long time has changed and now it says I need
macromedia flash player to be able to log in. I have seen this several
times, and my question is--is this a free download, and will I need to
purchase a newer version(some sites have indicated a newer version is
required) and what about other media programs I am already using --are
these types of programs compatible or will I still be able to use my
real player, nero, etc. Yes, I am new and no I do not understand all
this, and I only want what I need on my pc., so I quess what I really
want to know is this just the newest player out, and is that why I see
so many sites wanting us to use this player? I just don;t want to mess
up what i have that seems to be working for me, and yet if this is
something new that I may want to go ahead and try, I was wondering if
somebody who knows more about this stuff can give a girl a hand here. I
appreciate any help I can get--thanks in advance!

Flash player is needed for a number of animated sites...
It should install automatically if you allow it to...
and it's not likley to casue any damage to your system

Yup, it's free from:

<http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash>

Remember that you can uncheck the Google Toolbar installation prior to
downloading assuming that you may not want it.
