    You have to attempt running an extra scan with Malwarebytes free. Your PC may be infected. Update the data signatures previous to doing the scan. A few sites are disabling the right press alternative to "Save Picture As..." as well as "Copy". While trying to save or copy a protected jpeg, etc you might find a caution that "This file is protected" or "Not for public utilize" or "Invalid file name", etc. If you are confident the photo you are attempting to copy is really in the public domain as well as you is not violating any copyright limits, attempt utilizing the Windows 7 Snipping Tool.

    Download Microsoft Security Essentials as well as perform a complete system scan. In addition as recommended, get Malwarebytes in addition to run a complete system scan. As stated above, a few sites do disable the R Press save task. In its place of R Press copy, attempt just dragging the picture from the browser to the desktop, that efforts in most cases. In addition, if the issue began in recent times, you be able to attempt a system restore as recommended. If you recognize when the issue began as well as you are capable to, restore your system to a time before the issue.
