IE 6 won't download zone alarm updates neither ad-aware, neither Spybot. All other download work correctly. With Firefox no problem? Any ideas welcome

Download the problem programs with Firefox and run them, you might have spyware/adware preventing I.E. from working correctly.

If spyware is suspected then it will attack IE and cause strange behavior,run spyware utilities,you should also try downloading IE radicator to wipe IE from system then reinstall.

Another palce to check is Tools->Internet Options->Security,make sure that you donot have Custom enabled

Reset all advanced IE settings to default and make sure you have exactlty the same connection /proxy settings in both browsers.
If it still doesn?t download then IE has definetly been compromised & needs repair and or reinstallation.
