It does not stop you downloading, it stop bad sites you might visit.

If you Download from a Good Site and the program has third party suff and or install [ie: Gator] it will not necessary stop it.

Do you have SpyBotSD if not I would advise you get it to go with SWB.

Here a Link for it:- Spybot - Search & Destroy

Also Ad-aware 6 by Lavasoft.
