Not a valid Win32 file plus other problems Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 6:04 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ron L (9 messages posted) This started when I tried to download MS's Security Essentials. I will download the file. Download manager shows that the file is downloaded, a size of 4.3Mb. When I click run I get a statement that the file is not a valid Win32 application. I had deleted AVG to get this one and when I tried to reload AVG I got the same message. After trying several other things I went to the Download folder to try to run either of them again and find that the file size listed in the folder is ZERO kb!!!! How can that even be???? I feel that I'm getting conflicting information somehow but I don't know what to trust. BitDefender shows that I don't have an infected computer, Windows Defender and CCleaner show all is clean. I'm at a total loss. My next step is a complete upgrade to Win7, but I hadn't wanted to do that yet.
