Strange PDF Problems!

Lately when I've tried to open certain PDF files from an e-mail or a website I've been getting a small square in the upper left hand corner of the page with red, blue and green inside the square and nothing else. I've tried just about everything to find out what the problem is and am really stumped! Checked with my internet server and they gave me usless info that didn't work. Even paid a website to tell me what was wrong and that didn't work!

If anyone has and insight into this problem I'd be so grateful!

Thanks

Could be the following:

Security level is set high and isn't letting the file be downloaded.
Have you tried to download to desktop , then open from desktop?

Art, Thanks for responding.
This is one of the answers I've gotten. I have microsoft windows XP and that could be one of the problems and I also have Netscape which allows you to download for an extra fee all kinds of virus protection that they say they can't take off until the end of the month! I also recently downloaded the microsoft updates in security and I might have shot myself in the foot with all this stuff!

We have the same problem it started about 4 days ago. We turned of the security systems,tried the desktop advise from Art, all to no avail. By chance are you on Comcast?

No, I'm not DMARTZ, just regular dial up from Netscape.com!
