How do I change Security Settings?

I am unable to download anything as I am being blocked by "your security settings do not allow this download". I have tried to download with Windows Firewall disabled and with no anti-virus running, but still I could not download. ( Both firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials are back on!).

There must be a way to change this but I do not know. Help please!

I am using Windows 7 and I have ThreatFire also installed.

Update:

Please note that as I can not download anything I can not change the browser!

Update 2:

I am the administrator by the way

    I am having the same problem. So I have downloaded a new web browser called opera. You can download anything without any problems. Type " download opera " in Google.Then download it

    Opera it's by far one of the best browser.

    The last versione of Opera works very well, here i found a free download http://j.mp/1pkjuKn

    Its largely possible that your user account has limited privileges. You must login as admin to carry out the activity...

    NEVER turn your security off. Use Firefox instead of IE.
