Why can't I download AVG anti-spyware and rootkit?
Out of extra security concerns, I wanted to download AVG free versions of anti-spyware and rootkit. I already have AVG anti-virus. I tried last week and now today...When I go to the website and click the file name (.exe file) which I assume will be followed by the "save as or run" option the page seems to load very slow - then after a minute it will say the page cannot be displayed. Help? I have tried shutting off my firewall (Zone Alarm), it did not help. Oh, and I have Windows Vista.

Also- when I try to right click it and save the exe file it does not show statistics beside "time left," etc. It is pretty much a blank window, then several minutes later pops up a window saying a connection with the server could not be established. Hmmmm....
