O.P. Files Not Found (odd problem) [Why?]
This morning, I went online to download my schools daily bulletin. I noticed when I opened the word file It came up 'Sorry, the file X cannot be found'.

I thought nothing of it..

Now I'm trying to open PDF past papers and adobes giving me the same sort error. It's happening with more or less everything.

Has anyone has this sort of shit before?

Not opening them from zip files are you?

If not, try saving files to the desktop and opening them from there...

Is it just PDF files or all files?

Tried different web browsers?

Are you using AVG?

AVG is definitely causing this issue. I tried several of the solutions posted here including changing the internet security settings and user account settings, neither of which worked. For the record my installation (Vista OS) of AVG was corrupt and I was not able to uninstall. Due to the download issue I had to go to a different PC and copy the latest install version (AVG 8.5) to a flash drive. I repaired the current installation of AVG and this fixed the problem. Thanks to everyone who posted the AVG solution.

Does your account still have permissions to write to the selected folders?

If you have installed any anti-virus / anti-malware -- UNINSTALL IT, and now try.

My problem was I had installed NOD32 DEMO.. and when it expired, it was still on my system disabled and suddenly I could not save files, I tried everything.. after reading through here about people mentioning AVAST it occured to me to finally remove the expired NOD32.. PRESTO, i restarted and I was back up!!

I think it has something to do with the way that VISTA is aware of your antivirus and expects it to handle security and when it quits working it does not allow the file writes.
