Downloads problems

Can someone please help.?

I cannot download for example drivers (never gets past 0% loaded) and other .exe downloads, youtube videos freeze after about 3 secs, and some websites do not open (although multi-clicking them sometimes helps). I am lost at what to do.

Please help.

System is Win Vista Home Premium
AMD Athlon64 64 X3 TK-57

Many Thanks

Although it may not be the problem this time, these are classic symptoms of a virus.
Try to update your anti virus and run a full scan.
If you can download malwarebytes and make a full scan
With your current problem do what you can and report back

Dear Sir
Thank you for advice. However, after scan with my McAfee, there was a virus that has been cleared, but problem remains. Can you or somebody offer further advice.

Download malwarebytes, update it and make a full scan
If negative, using another computer save the download to a finger drive and then see if you can install from there.

Nevermind, it said no downloads if using IE>. i just tried it with IE and it does indeed want you to install a part of it. Use another computer to make a dvd/cd or thumb drive as Rich has suggested , use the Malwarebytes first . Just so you know, i use Firefox , and i did download that program and even though i use MSE and a paid Malwarebytes , Eset still found 5 issues , which kinda surprised me.

Hello Roxy,

This might be a root kit,One in general(Zero Access). If you could get your MAch. into Safe mode with Networking
and then go online to Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller (SAFE MODE)w/networking:> How to start Windows in Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking - ESET Knowledgebase
about mid page click on the download for the .zip & open folder
you may need 7-zip or some comparable to open zip files.
Once extracted you will have a folder open with a read me file and the Tdskiller.exe file/double click to run.
then you will be prompted to update click update.
let it go to update and open update, then run scan/
hopefully you can find and heal if it is a root kit.
Please respond if you try this option./
