No it is not safe. And to make things worse, your computer has a Vundo infection, that is why that program keeps trying to install itself.

Your computer needs a complete dis-infection.

ABSOLUTELY NOT SAFE...Win Anti-Virus is a scam program, essentially loaded by a Trojan horse program...if you do install it, it will run a scan, find viruses (whether you have them or not) and then force you to buy the full version to remove them.

Answer 8

Check you are running all the security software you need; one firewall, one anti virus, at least 2 anti spyware.
Your pc is infected.
Before attempting to remove malware you must switch off System Restore as back up files will be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.

Then beef up your security. Its easier to prevent malware getting on to your sytem in the first place rather than trying to remove it. All the following programs are free for personal use;

You need to install one firewall.
The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out.
