You've given no information about the problem you're having - we need as
more info - please respond to the following points as much as possible with
answers:

- What Antivirus programs have you tried installing? (e.g. Norton, McAfee,
AVG Anti-virus, Windows Live Care etc)

- What edition of Vista do you use? (basic, business, premium, ultimate etc)

- Is that edition of vista (above) 32 or 64 bit?

- Have you tried installing the appropriate 32 / 64 bit edition of the AV
for your 32/64 windows? 64 bit won't run on 32 bit Vista operating system.

- What errors are you getting? e.g. "corrupted file" or "you need to log on
as administrator to proceed" (etc).

- Are these programs being installed from a disk or are they downloads? (You
might have a bad disk, or the download may have bee interrupted or corrupted
in some fashion and won't run)

- Are you logged on as an administrator level user when attempting to
install this AV software? ("Standard Users" would normally be blocked from
making changes to the system especially where it comes to installing
applications & utilities.)

- This is the sort of info we need, please post back with answers to as many
of the above as you can answer.
