After you read what I have written before, I would like to know these two things:
1. I would really like to know if the same thing is happening to others when they try to download. Obviously, there are some folks who are downloading but I just don't know why I can't!!
2. Is there something I can do differently so I can successfully download fonts from here? BTW, turning off my virus protection is not an option!!
Thanks in advance for your help!!

Hello, Just wanted to pass along something that I think you would want to know. When I tried to download a few fonts, Norton stopped them because it keeps detecting a virus....I wanted to try this myself even though I've read on four blogs that other folks are having the same issue. Bloggers are posting links to your site to get fonts, but no one wants to download them when they read that several are detecting a virus.
When I download fonts from other sites, I download the font as a zip file or just by itself. I see on your site that the download files are .exe files......Why the .exe file?
Anyway, I'm not sure how the traffic has been on your site....actually how many folks are successfully downloading multiple fonts when they visit (like I do when I go to a font site)....but thought you'd want to know what others and myself are experiencing.

Personally I don't download fonts from any site that uses autodownloaders or exe files.
Another note, I have yet to see a single free font on this site that could not be found on the other free sites that do not use exe files.
If you really want something you have found, Google it and you will find it elsewhere.
I am a little weird, but I download the entire Myfonts order as 1 zip, then go back and download each items zip individually.
(I put the entire orders zip on a backup external drive and single zips in my licensing/bought folder)
Also I don't understand if the only way to download a font here is to do it by the .exe file, why are folks downloading from this site? Some fonts have A LOT of downloads!!
Finally, I'm just curious.....if ya'll don't download from this site, why are you still coming to this site?
I can add to my own personal wish list and when you follow the posting rules you won't believe how helpful the group is, be that in identifying fonts, ideas of similar fonts and more. ;)
