Hello,

I have developed a couple of issues so I am not sure if they are all linked.

I am running Windows Vista and have IE8 and google-chrome Bigpond Security (mcafee)
I have recently downloaded AVG security to see if there were any virus present in an attempt to fix the problems below.

1. I am unable to download files in google chrome. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome. When I am trying to download a file it will go through the process of downloading and then shows the error message virus scan failed. I was able to get by changing my downloading to IE8.

2. My IE8 has been crashing a lot and now facebook will not open just hangs on a white screen. I have read that IE8 causes a lot of problem so I thought I would uninstall it and download IE9. Other pages will open in IE8

3. When I look for IE8 in Control panel it does not exist (I have displayed hidden files), so I was unable to uninstall.

4. Thought I would go to microsoft site and download IE9. Goes through the process of downloading, however file will not run. If I choose the save option and save to say desktop location at the end of the download, no file can be found. If I try to download in google chrome I receive the error message "virus scan failed" as above.

5. Sometime google chrome has now failed to open and I need to select the run as adminstrator option to get it to work.

As you can see I have some issues!! :)

Any help would be appreciated.

Emm
