Try running Housecall by TrendMicro:

It's a manual virus/malware scanner.

I have used AVG and Avast... It was good. I have had the same problem long back. I'm trying this one recently... http://bit.ly/U8KnrM ... Hope this helps!

Are you sure you aren't already infected and it's preventing you from installing? Try booting from a live linux cd that contains a virus scanner and have it scan your hard drive.

Also, avast may have remnants from a previous install or possibly a corrupt install. Download the avast uninstall tool and run it. Afterwards, see if you can reinstall avast.

Try my BitDefender Antivirus Plus 2014 (It requires an Ethernet or Wireless that supports 4MB and 496 KB Download Speed) at http://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/antivirus.html on that Internet Speed, If that doesn't help, Try Your Windows CD, If you don't have Windows CD, Go to Computer Store and Find a Windows CD, Buy it and Insert the CD to reformat and reinstall Windows.

Your Internet Connection might be failing or your antivirus CD-ROM might be distorted, Scratched or dirty, Please reformat and reinstall Windows to solve the problem.

While the two issues may be possibilities, neither of those would be fixed by reinstalling Windows.

Clean your CD using Soft Cloth, Reinsert the CD, and see if that helps.
