Resolved Question

I am unable to download Foxit pdf reader

Aug 21, 2011 2:54PM PDT

AVG stops me from running the installation and removes exe files as tainted. I have found no one else having this problem -- yet. I've tried to download from the CNET platform and from Foxit itself.

Then turn AVG off during the download.

Thanks Kees_B for the solution.

After reading more about the "new and improved" Foxit, decided to switch to SumatraPDF. Downloaded quickly and without any hitches. Didn't require turning off AVG.
