• Answer:

  Internet Explorer will block a file from downloading if it appears that you did not request the file. This might happen if a website tries to download files to your computer without your permission or if you requested a file but the download did not start immediately. Before downloading any file, ask yourself these questions: Did you ask for this file? Did you click a link on a website to start this download, or did the download begin without any action on your part? If you did not start the download, you should be very cautious about the file. If you don't need the file, cancel the download. If you choose to save or run the file, make sure you know what it is for and what it will do to your computer before you proceed. Do you trust the website providing the file? Don't download any file unless you absolutely trust the website or publisher it is from.
