No, I wasn't saying it was a worm or virus. I was saying that
any anti-malware programs THEMSELVES can block certain domains,
they have domain-blocking features in them, and they also add
domains and IP's to the Hosts file which will also block some.
Post some examples of where you cannot download and I can look
at the download links and source code.

More than just Avast.

but not
limited to programs like SpywareBlaster, SpyBot, etc.
My mother is 84 years old and is on dial up so I doubt it is a
virus or
worm, etc. She only reads e mails a couple times a month. Most
of her
time on the computer is off line playing solitaire. She has a
game with
100 types of solitaire. <G>
I downloaded the Avast and Firefox with my computer and put
those
programs on a thumb drive. I'll try it this way for now. I'm
hoping the
links work using FireFox.
Thanks Clint.

On my mother's laptop I cannot click
on the link to download the free Avast program. I get a red
circle with
a slash through it. She has Vista. I tried changing the
security setting
to a lower level and turning off the firewall but it still does
it.
Using Internet Explorer. I checked the first two pages in
Google and
didn't see anything to help me.
