citizenearth asks:
Recently, I tried to install antivirus and anti-malware programs like AdAware and AVG/Avast but nothing seemed to work. After I have gone thru the installation process, the notice dialog box indicated that there is insufficient files to run the program.
The operating system on my PC is Windows XP SP1. What seem to be the problem?

February 2, 2010Assuming that you don’t already have a virus/adware on your system, my guess its the SP1. Try to upgrade to SP2 and see if it makes any difference.
If you can’t install, try an online scanner to check for virus/adware:

February 2, 2010The first thing I would look at is how much room my hard drive has. It almost sounds like you don’t have the hard drive space to install the programs.
Along with the steps advised above I would go to http://www.pcpitstop.com/ and run their free scan. After the scan completes it will give you advise based on your PC.
