403sufferer

Since the beginning of this month, March, I've get this error everytime I try to download a file. w3.org/Protocols says, "The server understands the request but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorisation will not help." I can get into websites and browse in them but clicking on a download immediately results in the 403 Forbidden error message. I've tried downloading from lots of sites but always the 403 error. Even Sourceforge.org, an open source site that has no restrictions, produces 403! Has ntl/Virgin been blacklisted?
I've been running XP Home, IE7, ZoneAlarm, AVG free and CA's EZ Antivirus for a long time. No recent changes that I'm aware of. I've tried lowering IE7's barriers. My local PC guru is puzzled. Any ideas, please?
