Each time I try to download something, I got messages stating that "this program contained a virus and was deleted". What is wrong? I cannot understand!! I need to download things from the Internet, but all I want to download contain a virus?

What are you trying to download, and from where exactly?
It might actually be a virus.

And what, exactly, is reporting it as a virus?

Good as Microsoft security essentials is.
It can be a pain in the ass.
If you are running it, it can be tetchy depending on how high the security settings are in security essentials suite.

I did a test to confirm it was the case, turned security essentials off.
installed Avg and low and behold no virus.

Microsoft security essentials can be a real ass like that if the settings are too high.
