Possibly McAfee's Web Shield or whatever they call it nowadays.
Another possibility is some sort of proxy ad blocker that's using a block with a wildcard term like *ad* or *ads* the problem is those letters are in download which will effect allot of websites, and also the CCleaner.com downloadbuilds.asp page.
Did you turn McAfee off, and try downloading it?
Yes, I tried this on 18 August, following your original suggestion (please see my post of that date). I only have McAfee VirusScan. I disabled it and tried downloading, without success. So I enabled it again.
Encouraged by your reassurances that all should go well, I will simply download DAF (if I can, of course!) and run Repair Permissions, following the instructions you posted earlier. I have to go away for a couple of days so I will do this on my return and let you know the result. Thanks again everyone.
More frustration!! I am trying to follow the advice given by krit86lr, to download DAF and use Repair Permissions. I went to DAF via the link in his post, and found a clickable link to download the Medium version of DAF (which, it said, was necessary to use the Repair Permissions tool). But when I click on that link (directdownload@djlizard.net) the result on my PC is exactly the same as when I try to download Ccleaner updates (and other stuff) - the screen goes competely blank except for the word Done at bottom left, and at top left there is that tiny logo of square, triangle and circle (please see my very first post). Glenn says (above) that the logo indicates a blocked image. Getting nowhere fast here - it seems that something is blocking downloads, and now I find that I can't even download DAF in order to clear the blockage.
Hi guys: I'm bringing this forward again in the hope that someone can help me with the problem outlined in my last post, 2 September. To recap, CCleaner updates will not download via filehippo etc. If I go direct to CCleaner downloads page, I can download Basic and Slim versions of CCleaner, but Standard version will not download. As suggested by krit86lr to overcome this problem, I have tried downloading DAF in order to run Repair Permissions, but DAF will not download either!! All I get is a blank screen except for the word Done at bottom left, and at top left there is a tiny logo of square, triangle and circle (please see my very first post). I will be very grateful for any help. Thanks.
try this, read your last post but didnt get a chance to read through it all.
let us know if theres anything else you need and if this solves the problem

What browser are you using? Have you tried downloading with a different browser? (Long shot I know but may be relevant)
