Hello,
 
I installed new windows 7 in my PC.
 
First I try to install AVG antivirus. I download AVG and run it. 
 
I downloaded AVG successfully but when I run it. it says "Extraction Failed File is corupt"  
 
Then I download AVIRA and RUn it and it says "Some of the installation files are invalid . . . . ."
 
Then I download Microsoft essential security. I download it successfully  and install it successfully. but I can't scan because It keeps updating again and again.
 
I tried to install google chrome, skype, VLC, but can't install any anything.
 
I am using Internet Explorer for downloading these stuffs.
 
Need your help. 
Thanks in advance.

Where did you get the copy of Windows 7 you installed? I suggest installing again as follows:
 

If you do not have a Windows 7 installation DVD, or it's not up to the Service Pack level currently installed, you can download a legal copy with SP1 integrated from here:

Windows 7 Direct Download Links

Make sure you get the same version you have, Home Premium, Pro or Ultimate and 32 or 64 bit. Note that Basic or Starter is not available.

I recommend using ImgBurn at 4X speed (or the slowest available) to create the DVD from the downloaded .iso file. Just be careful during the install not to accidentally install some of the bundled junk that comes with it. Always take The Custom Install option.

You can do this on any computer capable of burning a DVD.

YOU MUST HAVE A VALID KEY TO INSTALL THIS .ISO.
The one on the COA sticker on your computer will work.

If you are just using the Recovery Console you do not need a key.

You can also create a bootable USB Flash drive (4GB or larger) to install Windows 7 from.

  • Download and run Universal USB Installer Easy as 1 2 3
  • Select Windows 7 from the first drop down list, all the way to the bottom
  • Select the downloaded Windows 7 iso file
  • Select your USB flash drive
  • Click Create
For techies or folks who work on computers:

Create Windows 7 Universal ISO With All Editions Selection On Install with ei.cfg Removal Utility.

This will fit on a 6GB flash drive or can be burned to a DVD.

Try installing some different Windows version -- looks like the one you are trying to install is somehow corrupted
