FireFox tool to download the latest only works until the Windows "Run or Save" box opens and I click run. This is when AVG Online Agent displays an alert saying "Threat was blocked!" AVG Alert says file name: sdlc-esd.sun.com/ESD6/JSCDL/jdk/7u10-b18/jxpinstall.exe? AuthParam=1357827954_c2ea59c6dc161eda91ce748f884d38da&GroupName=JSC&FilePath=/ESD6/JSCDL/jdk/7u10-b18/jxpinstall.exe&File=jxpinstall.exe&BHost=javadl.sun.com
