IE will not save files

[Guest]

I have an issue when trying to save a file downloaded through IE 6. The file
will attempt to save to my hard drive but when the save process is finished,
the file disappears. I am currently using Win XP SP 2 and when I downgrade
to SP 1, IE works like it should. Does anyone know why this is occuring with
IE in SP 2?

All downloaded files or just some?

Is Windows Defender B2 installed?

Yes, all files and yes Windows Defender B2 is installed.

For some users of Defender B2, there is a known bug when opening email
attachments/downloading files.

Right-click on it > Delete it > Close Regedit > Reboot.
