    My Firefox download progress bar has decided to take a dislike to MGlogs.zip from the malware forum.
    How can I sort this out please? So sick of software thinking it's being 'useful' !

    That could be Firefox' baked-in Google Safe Browsing/Phishing Protection (or w/e its called now), see if you can find a likely pref from this page to add/modify from about:config: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Safe_Browsing

    I can't duplicate the problem. Have you tried a Help>Restart with Add-ons Disabled?
