Hello Glasser001,
Please check used hard drive and memory modules for errors. Then you can check consistency of downloaded file according to MD5 hash from this website.
What is the current situation?
Thank you
PC: Compac Presario 2175US (laptop), Win XP Pro, Firefox.
PC was restored via factory restore discs (including Norton 2003, among with all the usual other factory junk). Connected to web and updated Win XP with SP 2 and SP 3.
Tried to install AVG via internet. Got message "extraction failed" "file is corrupt".
Ran Malwarebytes. It found "1 Registry Data Items Infected" with "PUM.Hijack.StartMenu" and deleted it.
Tried to install AVG via internet. Got message "extraction failed" "file is corrupt".
PC disconnected from internet since this time.
Downloaded the full 147 Mb AVG (free) file to a flash drive (using another PC) and attempted to install. Same error message.
Ran the Norton uninstall tool. Ran the AVG uninstall tool, just in case.
Downloaded the 147 Mb AVG file to a flash drive (again, in case it really was corrupted) and attempted to install on P2175. Same error message.
Any advice on how to proceed from here would be appreciated.
