I'm unable to download firefox. I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and IE 9. Everytime I try to download firefox to install it tell me it has detected a virus and deletes the program before I can install. I have a free AVG virus protection software. I even tried to disable this temporarily and download but I still received the same message. Please help!

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

This may be a false positive from your AV software if you downloaded Firefox from the official Mozilla server.
I've seen Avast mentioned in such a case.
