To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

Hey am using windows xp and I am trying to do some of the tutorials and download some of the anti spyware malware programs from this site i can get these programs on to my desktop but when i try to install them i get an error or instalation wizard error anything obvious that i am doing wrong. I am not a novice with computers but not an expert, I have installed and uninstalled many programs and have battled may internet infection foes but i have never come across this problem before.

any ideas?
