Internet Security and trouble downloading

[Lady_Kate85]

Ok, I'm goin nuts here. I can't download anything on my computer and I DESPERATELY need some adaware a fire wall and some updated virus software (none of which I have right now... I know I'm a sitting duck) When I try to download either I get an arrow (no hand) and the page freezes and I can't click on anything, or I get this error message:

Error locating object handler
There is no viewer available for the typ of object you are trying to open
Possible locations of Viewer: Microsoft ActiveX Gallary.
This is a recent problem...I've not had any trouble before. What's going on? Your assistance will be GREATLY welcomed.

Thank you

youve got a corrupt file or registry entry. since you cannot download, start with a scandisk. if that doesnt fix it, youll have to try windows repair option.
