| 1166520 | 2011-01-03 03:34:00 | Make yourself a dedicated download folder on a hard drive partition as in C:\Downloads or D:\Downloads. Do not download to the desktop. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1166521 | 2011-01-03 04:29:00 | If you are using Firefox try Tools>Downloads | nerd89 (14761) | ||
| 1166522 | 2011-01-03 04:30:00 | It shouldn't matter where you download the files to, they should stay at the location you select . By default, they will download to <your user name> Downloads . To see if they have gone to another location, once downloaded, click start, type in the name of the file - if its there it will show up, then you can see where its going to . As for Avast, you would search for "setup_av_free" ( just tried it and it showed instantly) on the desktop :thumbs: you would right click it, open file location . AVG has a nasty habit of doing what you describe - this type of action is normally caused by the downloads going to the default location, OR the antivirus deleting as it suspects the file is a infection . If still no joy, create a new user account, try downloading from that if it works then the original Account is corrupted somewhere . |
