You don't have to necessarily disable your AV (if this is what is causing the problem). Every AV has its safe list where you can enter the links of sites you want your AV to recognize as "safe" and decrease the level of protection for those specific sites.

Just to mention... The way your AV behaves on a specific site depends on its settings. But most of all it depends on the AV itself. Since they have different methods to recognize threats some AVs will show false alerts while other will not for the same situation. I, for example, use KIS 8 with maximum protection for all areas, and have no problems with DN.

For me, download works only on IE, also when my AV is active.

Hi all, me too, pressed download typed in blue, then cant see where the next part is to set it to my desktop as nice background, if I do not receive a simple explanation to this prob., I will come out o this., really sick as tried 3 times, but no....nothing, there is no SET AS BACKGROUND, or I need new specs., thank-you to anyone who can sort out this for me, xx

maybe this will help some people... but this is what i do...
i only download the original images... [click the options button on the download page]
then, all of the wallpapers i download go into one folder.
in the control panel/system preferences for the desktop/wallpaper,
there is always an option to add a folder that contain wallpapers.
add that folder and all the wallpapers in it will show up and you can pick and choose which wallpaper to use.
there should always be an option to "stretch to fit" or "shrink to fit" the wallpaper to your desktop resolution.
choose the appropriate one, press apply, and see how it looks.

this way, you can download wallpapers to your hearts content, store them all in one place, and then pick and choose which one to use based on your magic 8ball, the phases of the moon, solar flare activity, etc etc.

toodles,
