When I install the windows defender 2 beta, and try to download something
(anything) in Internet Explorer 7 (beta 2), it downloads, but fails at the
end.
Here's an example:
1. I download something from download.com
2. I save the program on my desktop
3. It starts to download
4. When it comes to 99%-100%. the download window just closes...

I know this is windows defenders fault, because when I uninstall it, the
downloading works just fine.
I also tried quitting windows defender when it was installed, and
terminating the processes and the defender service... Still no good.

Hi Vigylant,

i use Fresh Download now for 5 years, it is free and without popups an
spyware and you can get it here:
http://www.freshdevices.com/
better use this and let WD does the good work and when the 2 Beta's are
final i hope the work well, but i think after that u stay on with Fresh
Download.

Regards >*< TOM >*<

Yes, it seems that others are having all kinds of download problems,
including downloaded files just disappearing or end up in the recycle bin.
But it is not happening to everyone - just to some. There's been somekind of
workaround discussed by the pros that involves editing the registry. I
certainly would not do that. If Defender worked properly that would not be
necessary, and it should not be necessary to install some 3rd party freeware
just to download a program. This is ridiculous!

Please send email to:

mtreit @ microsoft.com

Microsoft has a fix for this issue, but it requires running some analytic
tools, I believe.

Microsoft now has an automated tool to do some of the analysis involved in
fixing this issue. Folks should email Mike Treit, who is posting in these
groups with a clear email.

This issue has been fixed on my machine, so I know it is possible! It's not
specfic to IE7--that's an accident in this thread, I think.
