Some download buttons she can click but it says there is a connection problem ,Others she can't click at all.It has windows security ess. and that's all. I tried several times to download malwarebytes but can't. I'm trying to help her but I can't tell if it has a virus or not?

Did you try different browser?
 
I tried to download chrome but I couldn't . It doesn't have anything other than explorer installed.
 
I tried to download fabar but a pop up came up saying security won't let me download it,,,weird
 
I reset the browser to default settings and it is working now .I can see full website pages and download things.I seen that it was set to custom so I just change it back .I'm sorry to have bothered you . I guess I'm not as good with a computer as I thought , thx for your time
