Wayne or Mike, do you remember if the posts you reference specifically dealt with the problem Ken is having with the 
download being blocked?  I ask because this could also be a sign that he has some kind of malware in that some block 
access to common malware and virus detection software.  I downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials on three different 
computers and have not changed any settings or gotten the download blocked.

Best regards,


Steve Jacobson
