download settings and virus scan

[Guest]

When I try to download files from the internet..it won't let me..it says your
current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded..help please

Also i had McAfee VirusScan.. Windows XP made me disable thier virus scan to
enable McAfee...I don't have McAfee now.. so how do I enable the virus scan
which came with my windows....thanks

XP does not come with an anti virus program.The message may have said disable
McAfee while INSTALLING XP or if you had an old version of McAfee it might have
advised you to get a newer XP compatible version.

Control Panel - Internet Options. Highlight Internet Zone and either
take Default level take Custom and either select Medium, level in the
Reset to, and then Reset, or if you want to leave it in general on High
security, look in the Downloads section and select File Downloads as
Enabled (and automatic prompt probably Disabled) and Apply
