Hello, I was trying to install avast pro on Acer Aspire One laptop (Windows XP) but could not get the installer running. I download the file from the website and when I run it, it says “error 1006 (000003EE) Last performed operation was: opening the self-extract archive …”. I tried to download the file several times, even checked to run the installer on another laptop but the installation file that works on another laptop generates the above-mentioned error. NOD32 was previously installed.
Hello lambek,
I would imagine that it is the NOD32 interfering. How did you remove it?
You could try running the NOD32 uninstaller from this site:

Then try running the avast! installer.
