I've tried installing ZoneAlarm, Avast, and AVG, but none of them will install. They start installing and then in the middle of it I get an error message--most of the time saying something about "setup couldn't be completed". Please help!

There is a good chance that your computer is infected and the "virus", or whatever it is, does not allow the installation of antimalware programs. Please post a topic in the malware forum of geeks to go(a link in my list below). You can omit the first prerequisite steps because you cannot install the programs anyway.
