Downloading and saving

Hello all!
I am facing a problem here. When I download something fron the Internet it
seems that the "something" is downloaded but then I can't find it in the
folder I chose. I think the application I download is automatically
deleted... What can I do??

Choose a different path to save the Download then.

I will give you an example. I downloaded a file to the desktop. When the file
was downloaded it appeared on the desktop and then vanished. I searched it
everywhere and I only found a shortcut of that file. I then double-clicked on
it and windows said that the file was deleted and couldn't find it. It was a
zipped file. How can you explain that??

I have Panda internet security. I don't believe it is the antivirus that
causes the problem. Maybe vista are not that stable...

Vista will defiantly not automatically delete your files, check your 3rd
party programs and see if there are interfering with your downloads.
