I just reset Firefox as my homepage search bar in the middle was not working. Now I get the message that my update download for Ccleaner is "blocked by Security Zone policy". How do I fix this? Firefox 19.0 on Gateway laptop running Vista.

I don't know how to get screen shots. The message I get is on the download window and It reads : ccsetup328.exe This download has been blocked by Your Security Zone Policy----piriform.com. I tried the other mirrors but same result excepting the site address.

I tried the links ideato sent me. Although the settings have changed as recommended in the items. My problem is still not solved.

A not permanent solution is to go to about:config find(or copied and paste from there) browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone and double-click on it to make it False.

what is your security software ?
