to Paul: remove Norton; remove Microsoft Essentials...then wait til Microsoft removes; then go to Microsoft Security essentials and let them download again and see if your new version works. I've had one fail with some error...then removed se and went back for a fresh download and it worked. - icarususer.

Have try that many times, not working, lucky that we have choices.
Thanks

What exactly happened?
With AVG, you may have even more issues.

Can't download and open the file.

It can't be both.
You can't download (why?), or run it (why?)?

Yes, or no?

Not click, but double click downloaded file to run it. Will it?
