Cannot download from IE9 or open windows defender
Hi,
I've recently encountered a problem with my computer, whenever I attempt to download or even save anything from internet explorer I get the message "(whatever I try to download or save) contained a virus and was deleted". so for example if I were trying to download the latest Microsoft security essentials it would read "mseinstall.exe contained a virus and was deleted". I immediately thought to switch on security essentials and windows defender to check for a virus only to have this message pop up for both instances "windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item" any help would be greatly appreciated. I am running windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Thanks
