  Unable to install anything.  Even virus removal software or external DVD Drive.
  On some items it starts to install and in a few second it stops, or
   It keeps instaling repeatedly but it never installs anything.

I'm not sure why you chose to post in the Computer Programming forum, but I'm moving this to the Malware forum. In the future, please try to post in an appropriate forum. Thank you.

*************************************************************************
The first thing that comes to mind is how much free space do you have on your hard drive. This will severely limit any programs you want to install. Can you please check how much free space you have and how big is the drive? Right click on the C drive and select Properties. Did you try running the computer in Safe Mode?

 89GB free of 131 GB
 Safe mode?
 I have Windows 7 Home 64 and some sites seem to think I have windows 10

SuperDave:
Can you tell me what Anti-virus you have on that computer? Also please run a scan with the AV.
