Yup, removing WinDef fixed it! Thursday, March 23, 2006 at 8:32 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Lloyd Matthews (10 messages posted) I tried removing Windows Defender on the original PC with the problem, and voila, downloads don't disappear anymore. I have a third PC where WinDef and AdAware don't cause this problem, but on that one I installed AdAware BEFORE WinDef. The ones with problems had AdAware installed AFTER WinDef. Now my only "problem" is deciding whether to reinstall Norton Systemworks... -Thanks! LloydM Written in response to: Resolution?
