Whenever i try and download the free version of AVG 8.5 it starts to download it, but then it says "installation failed! 1 error and 12 warnings occured" Then when i click on details, it says:

"Error: Action failed for registry key.... Error 0x80070005"

Then it just keeps saying "Warning..."

I went to AVG's forums and looked for a solution, but when i tried their solutions, none of them worked, so i'm getting pretty frustrated. Please help.

One of "regular" AVG errors. One of the reasons, I don't recommend AVG.

Your other choices:

- Avast! free antivirus: http://www.avast.com...avast-home.html
- Avira free antivirus: http://www.free-av.c...load/index.html

- free PC Tools Antivirus: http://www.pctools.com/free-antivirus/
- free PC Tools Firewall Plus: http://www.pctools.com/firewall/

- free Comodo Internet Security (firewall + AV): http://www.personalf...all.comodo.com/
NOTE. During installation, Comodo will also allow you to install AV only, or firewall only, if you prefer to combine one Comodo product with some other product.

If you decide to install Avast, or Avira, make sure, Windows firewall is turned on, or use PC Tools Firewall Plus, or Comodo firewall..
If you decide to install Comodo Internet Security, or just Comodo firewall, make sure, Windows firewall is turned off.

IMPORTANT! Make sure, you use only ONE antivirus, and ONE firewall.
