The incredible disappearing downloads

 When I download files with IE, they will either never appear, or appear for a couple 
of seconds in the designated folder and then vanish. I then can't find them anywhere 
on the computer. Also, the download box closes whether or not I have "close after 
download" checked. (I have XP SP2 with the latest MS updates.)

 -Dowloading with ftp in IE works fine
 -Downloading with Firefox works fine

Can anyone help me fix this problem?

-Thanks! LloydM

-Resolution? Ad-Aware and Windows Defender don't play nice together (Lloyd Matthews: Thu, Mar 23, 2006, 6:27 pm)
-Yup, removing WinDef fixed it! (Lloyd Matthews: Thu, Mar 23, 2006, 8:32 pm)
