Hi there,
Got a lot of unecessary things running in the background there like all the Yahoo related threads, I'd personaly get rid of those, but they most likely won't affect your download. I don't know too much about the other stuff, so you'll have to wait for someone to postbut I suggest running several spyware scans with different scanners, Ad-Aware, SpyBot and eWido.
If that ater scanning and deleting all spyware/malware IE still doesn't download properly I'd run a virus check.
If that
still doesn't fix it then I strongly suggest switching to Mozilla (
www.getfirefox.com), although I recomend switching to Mozilla even if you do fix your IE, you'll get less hassle with it and less spyware then with IE.
Also, just out of curiosity, are you running Dial-Up or do you have Cable\DSL?
Hope that helps ya out a tad,
Cheers
