Orbit downloader with IE or Firefox

richardrowe · Mar 28, 2014

I have windows 7 ultimate on my pc which has a 450 gb hd, 3 gb ddr ram, and am not half full and I like to download tv programs and movies and watch them on my pc. I have found that for some reason none of the Firefox programs that I can find will support using Orbit downloader and the last three Internet Explorer programs won't let it work either and am having trouble with yahoo mail now. Would anyone have any ideas what I can use to get my shows and movies? Any help is appreciated. BTW, I am unable to view youtube videos as well.

Orbit downloader is now malware.

First uninstall it, reboot and see if your computer is functioning properly.
If it is not, the next thing to do is to head to the malware section of the forum and have the malware fighters help to clean your computer.

The malware fighters are good at getting the computer healthy again.

I thank you very very much. I have used a certain type program to help keep my pc clean but it isn't doing as good as the one I just downloaded. What might a person use now instead of Orbit Downloader?
