Compared to previous versions, Internet Explorer 8 significantly improves your safety on the Internet, especially regarding downloading unknown files. Thus, if Internet Explorer suspected of malicious code into the file to download, SmartScreen filter displays a warning and prevents the download. More generally, however, a download is interrupted just because the popup blocker is active and has blocked the download window. To resolve this problem:

1. Open Internet Explorer and Web site from which you want to download. Then click the download link desired.
   
2. If the download does not start automatically after a few moments, look in the address bar of Internet Explorer. It is possible that a short notice is displayed in a frame under the menu bar. Click this notification.
   
3. Then click on Download the file ... in the dialog box that appears.
   
4. The download dialog box appears, and standard allows you to save the file to your hard drive. To do this, click Save.

There are numerous things you require to mull over to solve this problem.

• Be convinced you have Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer, and that all pdf files are related with it.
• It's imperative to retain information that many of our Acrobat files are large, in some cases larger than 100 MB in size. If you have a slow network connection, these may be complicated to load.
• Occasionally the web server can be down or running slow. Best way to deal with this is to check back later.
• Another predicament particularly for computers with Microsoft Windows--is that Adobe has worked hard for "seamless integration" of Acrobat Reader with web browsers such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. Sometimes, though, the integration is a little too flawless, resulting in the downloaded file not displaying, crashing the browser or crashing the computer.
