Suddenly, for no obvious reason, Internet Explorer has started blocking downloads from safe, legitimate websites.
For instance, when I try to download Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool, a message flashes up at the top of the screen saying Internet Explorer has stopped me from visiting a potentially harmful site (or words to that effect).
On the right-hand side of this message bar there is a "click for options".
When I click this, one of the options that appears is "download". If I click on "download", I find the download - from Microsoft or anywhere else - does not start.
But downloads set up months ago - such as anti-virus, firewall, etc, regularly download their updates on to my computer without any problem.
I have had a look in the computer's security settings. I can't see anything obviously wrong there. I have put https://www.microsoft.com in as a "trusted site", but that hasn't helped.
Could someone please point me in the right direction? Many thanks if you can...
