The other day, literally as I was updating my Java, a trojan jumped on my laptop. It was the Vista antispyware, one of many names I’ve come to find. I successfully? removed most of it, and it doesn’t show up on the system in the forefront anymore, but I’m thinking it has to be lurking somewhere, or has messed up a few things. The antivirus wouldn’t work on the computer, and it kept giving error messages, so I uninstalled it, cleaned the system and then tried to install Avast. Several attempts gives me this error message. I apologize if this incomplete information isn’t enough, but I just copied the errors setup log. I’m also a bit of an idiot so excuse me
