You cant download files with what browser ?

 

What I would do is set all three back to manufacturers defaults and see if it helps

 

 

 

  • Open IE
  • Go to Tools> Internet Options > Advanced Tab
  • Reset Internet Explorer Setting
  • Reset
  • This will take a few seconds
  • Close IE and then reopen it and see if it helped
    •  
     
     
    • Click the Chrome menu [external image: Clipboard01_zps2e55f676.jpg]on the browser toolbar.
    • Select Settings.
    • Scroll down to Show advanced settings…
    • Down on the bottom you will see an option for RESET BROWSER SETTINGS
    • Click on it and it will set Chome back to defaults
      •  
       
       
      • Open Firefox
      • Click on Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox to its default state

        Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool again.
        • Click on the Uninstall button.
        • Click Yes when asked are you sure you want to uninstall.
        • Both AdwCleaner.exe, its folder and all logs will be removed.
