If you're having trouble installing AVG, check that you have administrator privileges and can install software.
Many viruses and trojans prevent you from installing security software, so I'd suspect you may have a problem already on your pc.
You may need to see a technician to get this one sorted out; try Avast! anti virus, Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware SE Personal.
If you can't install those either the problem is most likely to be malware already on your pc.
You need to install one anti virus;

http://www.avast.com - Avast Antivirus
You need all three anti spyware programs;
http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.
http://www.lavasoft.com - Ad-Aware SE Personal anti adware
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware
And these are useful utilities;

http://www.mailwasher.net/ -spam filter
Winpatrol is a handy utility that tracks cookies on your pc and stops unwanted changes to your startup folder.

Spywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. It won't uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to your browser.
