Install

You might try restoring the files that Avast removed and then restart.

There is a possibility, depending on how this copy of Windows was installed that Avast is removing files needed to run Windows properly. Many antivirus are starting to detect illegal code and remove it as if it were a virus.

[Ivy]

Oh !! How do I restore those files?

[evilfantasy]

Start Avast and go into the quarantine then choose the files and restore them. You will probably need to restart for it to take effect.

[Ivy]

But I don't have Avast in this restore point!!!!!

[evilfantasy]

Ohhh....

I need to do some looking around on this.

[Ivy]

I'm so sorry, hope its not too much trouble!!

I restarted and windows gives this message on every restart.

See if you can do this and then restart and try again.

Clearing Temp Folder

• Click on Start and then Run.
  
• In the text box in the Run window, type %Temp% and click OK. A folder full of files and other folders will appear.
  
• Remove everything inside the Temp folder, choose Edit and then Select All from the menu.
  • Note: If you're prompted that there are hidden files in this folder, just click on OK to bypass the message.
• Now that all of the files and folders are selected, hit your Delete key or choose File and then Delete from the menu.
  
• Confirm that you want to delete the files by clicking Yes on the Confirm Multiple File Delete window that opens.
  
• After all of the files have been deleted close the window and empty your Recycle Bin.

Also try going into the control panel and create a new account. See if the new account will work for downloading the tools we need.

[Ivy]

Ok, I deleted the temp files and Still that error came on restart.

I'm creating a new account now.

[evilfantasy]

If the new account will not work right do this. Actually it won't hurt to do it anyway to make sure these files are gone.

In Notepad go to File > Save as...

Next to File name: type fixme.reg Use the dropdown box next to Save as type: and select All files. Save it to the Desktop.

There should now be a file on the Desktop that looks like this

Double-click fixme.reg it and allow it to merge with the Registry.

You may not see anything happen but give it a few seconds or so to finish.

Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it did not work.

Now delete the fixme.reg file from the Desktop.

[Ivy]

It says it has successfully merged with the registry or somethin like that!!

[Ivy]

Do I delete it now?

[evilfantasy]

Yes delete it now and try to install something again.

[Ivy]

Its not working!!

What am I gonna do?!!

[Ivy]

Okay, I created a new account, and on this new account I have almost no icons on the desktop, its like a new computer, But even on this account the download did not work!!
