I also get the same error when attempting to run the online scanners (Panda, Kaspersky etc.). It tells me there was an error and I must reboot my machine and try downloading the software again.
For this reason, I think there could be something corrupt that's causing the errors whenever I install an AntiVirus. I've run the AVG spyware and Superantispyware, but they found nothing.
Is it possible the something disables my antivirus and antispyware upon installation???
Any assistance here would be GREATLY appreciated.
