errorcode: 80246002

I use AVG free editon; spyware blaster; windows firewall.
I have recently added more memory (went from 2 x 512 Mb to 4 x 1 Gb; dual
channel.)

I keep getting errorcode 0x8024402F when I try to download. The failed
downloads haver errorcode: 80246002.

I cleaned using CCleaner, I did a checkdisk, I defragmented, I tried with
the firewall de-activated. Nothing works. Below are the 50 last lines of my
log:
