I cannot do ANY DOWNLOADS from various locations like I always could to before. I shut off McAffey. I went to Tools > Options > Security click on Exceptions, click on Allow click on Close. I never used this security thing before. All worked good.

I constantly do upgrades and updates, and sometimes pay online for a software download. Now I cannot do anything with my need downloads. I can't even at CNET download.com sincerely ron
