I have downloaded the free version of avast. When I run Setup the progress bar appears with the file folders transfering then installation just stops> any suggestions??
Do you have any antivirus program installed on the computer ?
If so you need to uninstall that program before installing avast.
After you have uninstalled it it is recomended to run a removal tool so all leftovers are gone
You can find the tool here http://uninstallers.blogspot.com/ run it reboot and then try installing avast
No AV apps installed. just got rid of the fraud Spy Doctor tho.
Then i recomend trying this, you may have something that is blocking the install
Check your computer for Malware with
Malwarebytes Antimalware http://filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
after install click UPDATE and run quick scan, click on REMOVE SELECTED to quarantine anything found
