Computer help forum: I cant download ANYTHING in any browser ! HELP!!!

For those that use Beta products, a frequent fix is to reformat and reinstall everything from scratch..

By the way, it's generally not a good idea to have two antivirus programs running "realtime" at the same time.. They can cause conflicts when malware is found..

By the way, you mention "any browser".. Other than Internet Explorer, what other browser do you have installed? If you don't have something like Firefox installed, please try downloading it on a friend or family member's computer, then copy it to a CD or flash drive, then transfer it to your problem machine and install it..See if you can now download using Firefox.

In addition, just in case it's a malware issue, please download, install, update, then run a full system scan using the Malwarebytes program below.. As before, use a friend or family member's computer to download and transfer the installer files.

Once downloaded, rename the program installer "mbam-setup.exe" file to something else like "Gogetum.exe", then copy the installer file and the update file to a CD or flash drive.. Transfer the file to the problem machine, then install the "Gogetum.exe" file, then run the update to get the program current.. After that, run a full system scan and delete anything it finds.
