I have been fighting this issue for two days on my Laptop. But I was able to download the Economist as normal on my desktop. So I tried restore, M alwarebytes etc on my laptop.

Then I thought hmmmm... My desktop is old and only has 32 bit Calibre 5.44. My laptop is 64 bit Calibre 8.5. So after reading this thread I just loaded Caliber 5.44 onto my laptop.

Eureka!! It works fine. A few downsides with such an old version but at least I get my weekly read.

I just subscribed to the forum to help others.
