Actually I found a solution that sounds like it fits your situation better from:

Untrusted Publishers
When you choose to download software from the Internet to your computer
with Internet Explorer, Microsoft Authenticode technology is used to
help verify the identity of the software's publisher. Authenticode
technology checks the software for a valid certificate or signature
(that the identity of the software publisher matches the signature and
that the signature is still valid). Note that this does not prevent a
poorly written program from being downloaded or run on your computer.

Internet Explorer's Untrusted Publishers feature allows you to block the
installation of software from publishers you do not trust. When signed
software (such as an ActiveX control) is about to be installed from a
website, Internet Explorer's Authenticode dialog will ask you whether
you want to install the software. You may choose to:

• Install the software, or

• Trust all content from that software publisher so that it will be
installed in the future without asking you, or

• Block signed software from that publisher.


When you indicate software should be blocked, the certificate used to
sign the software is placed on a block list. Any software signed with a
blocked certificate will not be installed. Some publishers use different
certificates to sign their software so you may be asked multiple times
whether you wish to block software from a given publisher. The block
list applies to all users of your computer and can only be modified by a
user who is an administrator.

To unblock a software publisher:

1.
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet
Options.

2.
On the Content tab, in the Certificates section, click Certificates.

3.
Select the Untrusted Publisher tab.

4.
Select the Publisher you wish to unblock and click the Remove button.


This successfully fixed someone with an error of "This publisher has been 
blocked from running software on your machine".

And if that doesn't work I have one more idea.  Didn't you say that this PC
in question is running Vista?  If so, then right-click the install file you
saved to the desktop and choose "Run as administrator".  It should then
install correctly.

Hi Folks,
when I was trying to download Adobe I kept getting
the security warning.
Turns out I had ActiveX blocked in IE and Avant Browser.

Look for a Yellow (warning)bar below the top of the IE window
between it and the box of the page you are one.

You click on it for more info, I think you get a drop down to
allow it.

On my computer I just changed my setting to allow it and 
changed it after the download.

I also added adobe.com to my "Trusted Sites" in IE7

Jan,
    Try it again, but this time look at the titlebar of the Warning you get

and see if it tells you what program is reporting it.  I'm hoping you will 
be told that it's a specific security app that's blocking Adobe products. 
If it is, it'll be relatively easy to go into that program's settings and 
unblock it (and maybe figure out why it's been blocked in the first place)

Happy Holidays,
Gman
