I am not very proficient and hence apologise if I have selected a wrong topic.

I have a problem with downloading from CNET website; when I clicked 'Download' for "E mail virus checklist" I got stuck at : ftp://ftp.download.com/pub/techrepublic/netadmin/template/EmailVirusList.zip

Repeatedly I reached 'This page cannot be opened' or something to that effect.

Kindly let me knoe what is wrong and how I can succeed in downloading this programme.

Thanks.

It seems you hit a broken link, but if you copy the link you posted above and paste it into the Internet Explorer Address bar, your download will start.

NOTE: You will find that there will be a lot of dead links as you surf, some are from old sites that are left online, others just move or replace files to save space, leaving the links useless.

OOOPS, that link IS dead, you can download a small page that just says they are sorry but the file is unavailable.

To download a virus definition list (If that's what it was)is really quite useless though. Virus lists change daily. Just keep a good scanner installed, I recommend AVG it's free and works better than most that you pay for.
