Internet explorer 9 not downloading any files?

[Theminecraftaddict555]

I tried downloading java for my computer but when I click on the download it just doesn't do anything it just sits there as if I didn't click it....Same goes for other files too for example I tried downloading optifine and mods for minecraft and skyrim but nothing and it doesn't even allow me to see the download history....

Uninstall Internet explorer

I don't mind people that use IE, but, come on. If you're using Windows 7 or 8, Please upgrade to ie 11. However, if you're using Vista, get Firefox or Chrome

[Woody884]

Yeah, you need to get chrome... Maybe download it on another computer, put it on a USB, then install it on your PC that you're using IE on....

Although seriously, why are you using ineternet explorer still!

Chrome is fine when it comes to downloading files but I CANNOT DOWNLOAD JAVA!!!!!!!!! I NEED IT FOR MY TASKS ON THE COMPUTER AND CHROME DOES NOT ALLOW JAVA TO BE DOWNLOADED BECAUSE THEY ARE CRAP WHEN IT COMES TO KEEPING CONTRACTS WITH JAVA....*sorry for the caps*

Download IE11. IE9 is a literal piece of shit.

Man sounds like your computer has serious problems.

 

I would do a FULL system scan using your Antivirus.

 

What version of Windows are you running? What is your Antivirus software?

 

I'd download and scan with MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, if you don't already have it.

 

Frankly, you might have to do a full format and install, given the weird nature of your issues (Messed up start search box, cannot download in IE9, etc). Your OS may be corrupted or infected with malware.

Did you perform a full virus/malware scan? Restore Points will generally not remove malware infections.

Will be doing a malwarebytes scan and Avast free scan eventually

I would change "eventually" to "the very first thing I do, the next time I'm sitting at that PC".
