Unable to download progrmas or open files

I am unable to download/save any programs or open attachamnets from internet
explorer 7! I have tried a restore (no success), disabled add ons, turned
off Norton, changed startup menu, changed internet tools and nothing. When
I open a file it progresses and disappears when saving to desktop sometimes
the icon will appear for a split second and then disappear. My temporary
file is empty?? Any Ideas??

first check ur firewall setting......And then check ur IE7---> tools
option---> internet option---> Security Tab.......In that set ur security
level to "medium" or "mediun-high"............ I think ur system get any
virus ........ Scan ur system......
