Download issue: ANTIVIRUS ANALYSIS FAILURE
I had exactly the same problem, no more download options, I tried everything I read here and elsewhere but nothing worked, and foolishly I remembered that two antivirus programs could conflict, so I searched my PC for a second antivirus other than Windows Defender and I found McAfee WebAdvisor, so I did:
1. Control panel
2. All programs
3. I scrolled through the list
4. I clicked on WebAdvisor and chose to uninstall it completely
5. I waited for the complete uninstallation and then clicked on finish
6. I turned off and restarted the PC and there, eureka, everything was back in order and I can download everything again.
If this can help you.
Hello
Indeed this question is from 2013 but it is still relevant and thankfully so because thanks to the answer provided by lilou, I was finally able to download again on my PC. I encountered the same problem without finding a solution and by following her explanations, I was able to resolve it!
A big thank you to her!
Have a nice day.
