I uninstalled Gozilla from my system, and now I cannot
download programs via hyperlink. I can get multimedia
and pictures no problem, but if I were to click on a link
for a new program, there's a quick flash of the
downloading status window, and nothing is downloaded.
I've already cleaned Gozilla out of my registry and tried
repairing Internet Explorer, but am still unable to do
so. And I can't even download a fresh copy of IE because
of the aforementioned problem! Help!
 
If it is only .exe files, then read on and see if this is relevant:
You may have an invalid plugin.
Netscape-Style Plug-ins Do Not Work After Upgrading Internet Explorer

Remove the plugin with Regedit.exe
Start-Run-Regedit.exe
Navigate down to this key and remove it, after exporting it as a
normal safety precaution.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Plugins\Extension\.exe

If that key exists, then you will see what plugin has been installed.
The key does not normally exist.
