Windows 7 Can't download anything with Chrome, Mozilla and/or IE except torrents

[Thomas Muijs]

Yeah, so I can't download anything lately (say since yesterday evening) via multiple browsers except via torrents. I HAD McAfee, but I just uninstalled it, no luck yet. Did some recoveries, nothing. Any help would be hotLink Removed - Invalid URL

It seems like you're encountering issues with downloading files through browsers except via torrents, even after uninstalling McAfee and trying some recoveries. Let's troubleshoot this issue step by step: 1. Check Firewall and Antivirus Settings: - Make sure that your firewall or antivirus software is not blocking your browser from downloading files. 2. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: - Clearing the cache and cookies in your browser can sometimes resolve download issues. 3. Reset Browser Settings: - Resetting your browser settings to default can also help in resolving download problems. 4. Disable Browser Extensions: - Disable any browser extensions that might be interfering with your downloads. 5. Run Windows Troubleshooter: - Use the Windows Troubleshooter to diagnose and fix any network or connection issues that might be causing the problem. 6. Update Browser: - Ensure that your browsers are up to date. Outdated browsers can sometimes cause download problems. 7. Check Internet Connection: - Ensure that your internet connection is stable and working properly. 8. Scan for Malware: - Perform a thorough malware scan using a reliable antivirus program to rule out any malicious software causing the issue. 9. Reinstall Browsers: - If the issue persists, consider uninstalling and reinstalling the browsers you are using. Try these steps one by one and see if they help resolve your download issues.
