Why my computer won't download AVG Antivirus?

He said: "your current security settings do not allow this file to download.  I tried to download a few files and get this security alert.  I can't find where to change it.

Hello Kimberly,.

Thanks for the Microsoft Community assistance approach.

I understand that you have problems with the download of AVG security software. I would certainly help you to fix this problem.

We start with two questions:

1 did you change on your computer before the show?

2. which version of the operating system is installed on your computer?

3. what web browser do you use to download AVG?

4. If it is Internet Explorer, what version of Internet Explorer is installed on your computer?

5 have you tried with a different browser?

6. do you have a third-party security software installed on your computer?

I suggest you to disable all security software, including the Windows Firewall and then check how it works.

Check out these links to find out how to disable security software.

Windows 7:

Enable or disable Windows Firewall in Windows 7

Disable the anti-virus software

Windows Vista:
Disable the anti-virus software

Enable or disable Windows Firewall

Windows XP:

Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

I hope this helps you solve the problem. If you have other problems with Windows, please post in the Microsoft Community. We would be happy to help you.

    I am running Windows XP SP3 with RAM sticks of 256 MB (2) on an old eMachines T5026 desk top.  I added strips of RAM 1.0 GB (2) for the two slots open and computer would not start.  I tried with stick (1) 1 G and (2) 1 sticks and it still won't start.  I tried to mix and match the 256 with 1 G in each combimation, but it does not start.  Won't start with one or two sticks of 256.  Best Buy had PC3200 DDR RAM but the spec above States use PC2700.  Geek Squad says that PC3200 is OK instead of PC2700.  Is this the problem or I had to do something besides just insert new RAM?   Suggestions welcome.  Thank you.

    Thank you for confirming that. I still think that the above tips are relevant:

    Because what you bought doesn't work, my suggestion is to stay within the plug (PC2700), like this:
  • Why my computer won't start, and where to go safe mode?

    I had nothing but problems since then tried to switch to Windows7.  Several attempts over the past two weeks, none worked. Then started getting the blue screen of death at random times. Today they came more often until it got the point where computer should restart and go straight to the blue screen of death.
    Tried to reinstall Vista, I have had to do in safe mode, because I couldn't have what. Did not exist then. Now, I can't find it. Don't ask me why. If I knew, I wouldn't be here.
    Vista has been subject to half way through installation when SURPRISE! Blue screen of death. After that, he says that there is no disc in the drive, then no player, then not whatever. I remember even now, I'm so frustrated. Changed the CMOS to boot from the CD Rom settings, did not a thing. Can't find safe mode more. Never heard of that one before.
    What he does now is during startup, it happens at "Verifying DMI Pool Data data... ", and then says"disc error occurred, press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart. " So now, it's in this endless loop.
    So, is he dead? I'm afraid to change other parameters, because it's a white box. He got 2 readers of DVD, which now seem unnecessary. It is also a RAID configuration, and I never dealt with more than 1 hard drive before. At one point, I got to a screen (no idea how) that allow me to achieve a memory check. If I remember correctly, he said that memory was fine, but there was a hardware problem?
    Any ideas?... Anyone?... Beuller? ... Beuller?

    Thanks for the reply. I finally get it working again. Find an old email of the person who built it, and fixed it without delay. There is nothing wrong with the hard drive, it was fine. In fact, 'they' were very good. The problem is in the bios settings. After I changed it to boot from the CD drive and it did not work, I put in some way something to the default settings. Big mistake with a raid system. He apparently wanted to a single hard drive, and this computer has four. Or is it 5? How long I forgot. The user then, stupid mistake.
    I will, however, never try to reinstall Windows 7 on this computer. If someone wants to give me an old, used computer, I'll try, but I got to risk it.
