Computer will not download from the internet

I saw on this site that other people have similar problems with Vista suddenly refusing to download anything on the internet, even if they use a different browser.  Personally, I use Firefox and the same problem occurs even if I use IE.  I tried all the methods disabiling my Add-ons, restarted my laptop, etc.  No one answered that these methods have worked.  I don't see if it is malware on my laptop because I can not download the removal tool.  I was able to download Vista SP2 and other updates, but that was it.  Nothing else does.  Is there another way to solve this thorny problem?  This issue started back around April of this year after an update for an Ipod.

Try the above and if no help do the following:

Start - type this in the search box-> find COMMAND at the top and RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN

Enter this at the command prompt - sfc/scannow
