With out Changing the Security Setting. How to download anything

Hi! I am trying to figure out how to get this computer working right.
Originally McAfee was blocking everything. So I downloaded the McAfee remover. So now that is gone. But we are trying to install AVG onto the PC and when we go to hit download (btw this is with anything not just AVG) we get the following security error message "Your Current Security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded"Now we can see the box to download it in the background but you can not click on it.

We have gone into the Internet Settings:
Internet: the custom & Default levels are BOTH medium
Local Internet: custom is medium-low & default is medium low

We have tried to bump the internet down to Low or even Medium Low but when we go to change it we get the message:"the recommended security level is medium. The level you have chosen is lower then this please chose a security level of medium or higher. " So we are out of options. Any Ideas? Here is the computer information for you.

Open your Internet Explorer Options and select the Security tab.
Select Internet Zone. Then, click on Custom Level.

Scroll down to "Downloads". Are your downloads enabled?
Please click here to download and install the HijackThis installer.
Run it and select Do a system scan and save a logfile.The log will be saved in Notepad. Copy and paste the log in your next post.

Try the following:

Click on Start > Run > and type regedit.

Navigate to the following registry keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3

Check the following DWORD Value: (make sure it's set to "0")
