C:\Users\Ann\Desktop\Walmart Product Care Plan - Confirmation_files\javascript.js could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

Try again later, or contact the server administrator.

Is the message that I receive when I am trying to save a web page.

I have tried resetting my computer, disabling the fire wall, checking for add-ons and I cannot find any reason for this to have started happening.

Are you able to reproduce this issue on another browser?

That is usual when running a addon such as Adblock Plus, or Ghostery which block scripts from "tracker sites".

You can try to disable those type of blockers or investigate in safe mode.

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.

Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
