Downloaded from where though?

It always used to be available here:

http://www.lavasoft.com/mylavasoft/securitycenter/blog

but the link disappeared some days ago.

Nope
no problem from here ...

That's very curious.

I can't see those links in IE7.
I can't see those links in FF3.
But I can see them in Safari for Windows.

Anybody have any idea why that might be?

Thanks

Let's search for a Browser-Hijack...
install 'HijackThis'*, run a scan and copy/paste the log in your next reply.

Here it is. Though I can't see anything out of the ordinary, and it doesn't differ in many respects from an archived HJT log from a few months ago when the links were working just fine.

UPDATE : I've just noticed that the link is present in FF3, but oddly it is at the bottom of the left-hand column rather than in it's normal location at the top of the right-hand column.....?

the HjT program that you've used is obsolete
plz install the current version ( use the link in my sign.) and post a fresh log.
If I've the new log I'll prepare your thread for analyse.
Don't download from the site with the lower left link
FYI a sreenshot of my FF3

Good point. I've taken a look at a HJT log from the current version, and again there's nothing suspicious looking.

Having just checked again, the SE download link has reappeared at top-right for me when using IE7. I think it's far more likely that lavasoft have been messing about with that page recently.

Thanks
