Re: Security Alert --> Cannot Download Anything

Hi. I am running Windows XP, SP2, and I'm not running McCafee, just Norton,
though it is disabled. Funny you mention that script debugger tip at
kellys-corner.com, because in order to access it, you have to download
something, which of course, I cannot. Also, it doesn't just happen with FTP
downloads, but with all. Any other suggestions? Thanks.
