cannot download any files

[Jim B]

When I try to download files I get an error message
saying "Internet Explorer was unable to open internet
site. Site was either unavailable or couldn't be found.
Please try again later." Or it just says I am not
authorized to view this page. I have tried dozens of
different webpages and no luck. What can I do to make
this work?

I have the same problem!! I can't download any programs, including MSN messenger, ad-aware or kazaa. But I don't have any problem viewing web pages. I just did all my Windows updates hoping that would solve the problem, but it didn't. Any suggestions?

getting now where fast.
Thanks for any help.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

and:

SpyBot-S&D

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
