Temporarily disable your anti-virus application to perform the download of Firefox. You may have more than one anti-virus program installed (like a "trial" program your notebook maker installed), so when you disable it, the Windows Security program will become enabled. If you still can't download Firefox you will have to disable that one, too.

After the download is complete, close IE, then re-enable your A-V program, and then install Firefox.
