Here's something I found out on the files that throw the error. Checking the property they are gzip files, does windows not open gzip and have to use 7zip or winzip application for that? When I check properties mine says opens with Windows Explorer and doesn't have issues except for with these...
When I download the file say to my desktop I usually just click it opens up then hit the extract all file and it unzips the contents. So when using IE to download the file I get the invalid/corrupt error but when using Firefox or other browser it opens fine w/o having to use another application...
The way I found I can open the file is with the 7zip as suggested, which is not really fixing my problem but a work around. Open the file w/ 7zip then right click open outside choose 7zip file manager then extract and files can be accessed. Why IE 8 corrupts the file I still do not know but at...
I did have the Office 07 on desktop and laptop but have uninstalled and Open Office on one pc and all pcs have CS4 but unistalled on laptop and still has the same issue. All PC's have Notepad++ and Filezilla but don't think that would cause this. I will check out the FAQ maybe/hopefully...

I will but may hold off on a reinstall and do some more searching. Seems I'm not the only one this is happening too, so hope to find a solution but if nothing found then will resort to a clean install. download ZIP files are corrupted in IE but not in Firefox

Thanks for the suggestions, might have to try the ad aware out. I just ran the MS malicious software tool and it came up clean. The only thing I have added on is the developers tool but had this installed prior to the issue.
