I have MacAfee (which I have turned off) and Windows Defender (ditto).
But even so the damn system refuses to download, telling me that the virus scan failed.
Has anyone come across this before and, if so, how did you fix it?

Thanks for the replies.
I originally used Edge.
This morning I turned off McAfee again (it resets itself on reboot) and tried with Chrome. Same result - virus scan failed. Trouble is, it's stopping me updating other stuff on my laptop, which may become serious over time.
