Try typing msconfig from run in the start menu and click the sartup tab and uncheck any programs you do not recognize and delete any unwanted/unknown programs from add/remove and also scan with avg antivirus or any antivirus program.  Before you do this try going into safemode by hitting f8(in most cases) when you turn your computer on and click safemode with networking and try to download again if it does not work than you have a virus.  Good luck.
