    Downloading Error: "Download contained virus and was deleted"


    Hi all,


    Very recently my computer started to not accept downloads. It's VERY frustrating because this has never happened before. It's affecting my school since I can't download certain assignments and I can't even download Norton Security. I've attempted downloading from both IE and from Google Chrome. I've tried scouring the internet, but I've found nothing even remotely helpful. It's not just those things either its anything I try to download. My version is Windows 10.

    Is there a way to override it or fix it without screwing up my computer??

    I've gone to many forums and none of the solutions have helped. Hopefully I'll be able to get one.


    Thanks in advance!

    Sarah

    New Virus Comes Disguised as IE7 Download

    If you receive an e-mail offering a download of Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2, delete it. A new virus is spreading all over the web. The e-mail includes a convincing graphic that looks like it could really be from Microsoft, and the virus is delivered when recipients click on the included link. The e-mails carry the subject line "Internet Explorer 7 Downloads" and appear to come from admin@microsoft.com. They include a blue, Microsoft-style graphic offering a download of IE 7 beta 2. Clicking the graphic will download an executable file called IE 7.exe. The file is actually a new virus called Virus.Win32.Grum. Security experts are still trying to analyze the virus, which may affect your registry, mail contact list or steal personal information from your computer.
