Oct 31, 2014 IE11: Cannot download files or add search providers. AdwCleaner and MS Safety Scanner, dumped Norton and got MSE. I then noticed some issues with Internet Explorer 11: I can't download files. Clicking a link or right-click and 'Save target as.' Does nothing. No errors, prompts, toasts or anything. Acts like I did nothing. 'Internet Explorer cannot download filename from this particular webserver'. In other words, using pchell.com and the filename fixit.exe as an example, the message stated 'Internet Explorer cannot download fixit.exe from pchell.com' I could use an FTP program just fine and I could download the file using an alternative browser such as Firefox. A blank page in the web browser A red X icon A broken-link indicator, such as a red square, a blue triangle, or a blue circle Error: 'The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again.

2. Does this happen when trying to download files from all the websites?
