Downloading Problems with vista

this morning i logged on and when I tried to download pictures from m
email I received the message below. I then went to a few other sites t
try to download and I kept getting the same message. I ran a syste
restore. It didn't help. I am a newbie with vista and the whol
computer world. Thanks for any and all help

Message I get when trying to download anything...

C:\Users\COMPAQ~1\AppData\Local\Temp\IeyYtbA3.exe. part could not b
saved, because the source file could not be read

Try again later, or contact the server administrator

Hi,

from the description you provided, today is probably your lucky day

Pictures (binary digital images) usually have these extensions: *.jpg*
*.png*, *.bmp*, *.tga*, *.tif*, *.tiff*

Pictures (vectorized images) usually have these extensions: *.svg*
*.cmx*, *.emf*, *.wmf*, *.cdr*, *.cmx*, *.ai*, *.ps*, *.eps*

Executables usually have these extensions (after installation of th
Windows operating system, I took these from *PATHEXT* environmen
variable, visible when you type *set* and press *enter key* fro
*Command Prompt*): *.COM*, *.EXE*, *.BAT*, *.CMD*, *.VBS*, *.VBE*
*.JS*, *.JSE*, *.WSF*, *.WSH*, *.MSC*

The extension you are mentioning is *.exe*, which means that it is a
binary file that can be executed on your computer. Usually, when you ge
similar message that the file "-could not be saved, because the sourc
file could not be read-" it means that access to it was blocked by som
kind of malware-protection you have installed on your machine, which i
good.

However, if you are completely sure (but how you can be? think abou
identity theft issues) that the executable image is not lethal, there i
very tiny chance that this could be false-positive detection.

HTH,

thank you for your answer but i'm not quite sure what you mean. I can
download anything. I tried to download Firefox browser and i got tha

from email...same message....programs, software, itunes, etc...i ge
the same message.

I dont know much about computers and i dont really download a whole lo
so i'm not sure how long this has been a problem.

I appreciate your help but is there a way to fix it
