Post #1
In the last few days I have downloaded the Riyo-Codec as well as .Net Framework 1.1 and as of yesterday my AVG can no longer update, and whenever I try to download anything (like a new AVG) downloads cease after about 10% has been loaded.

I am also receiving errors saying that my Windows Installer is corrupted.

A restore to a month ago did not solve my problems.

I have followed the instructions using Fixit and HiJackThis and my logs are below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
