What is your OS ?
What is your browser ?
Why do you think you have this virus, do you have any other information other than you can't download ?
Have you tried a different browser to download or a download manager ?
If you haven't already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it.
1.
Ad-Aware
2.
Spybot Search and Destroy
3.
Spywareblaster
Don't install this until you are clean.
4.
Ewido Security Suite
If using winXP. or
a-Squared free
if using win98/ME.
Have you tried any on-line scanners ?

Hi Axsweb,
First try a boot time scan with avast! (Right click on the scanner screen and select 'schedule a boot time scan'- set the default action to move to chest if you have a cordless keyboard because it won't work during the scan.)
After that, download, install, update and scan with the following programs, preferably in safe mode (tap F8 while booting.)
Ewido

(Requires Win2000/XP)
and/or a-Squared
http://www.emsisoft.com/en/
Ad-Aware
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download506.html
Spybot Search & Destroy
http://www.safer-networking.org/
If that doesn't fix it, try this removal tool, as I think you might have the SdBot worm (w32.kbot seems to be associated with CMD32.EXE which is this worm.)

Good luck!
