Can't install any antivirus

Fuente
it doesn't allow me to install any anti virus/ security software i have tried nearly all i can think of,
first thing i tried ..
i did extensive research on the problem and decided it may be a maleware infection so i attempted to install malwarebytes programm it installed succescfully but refused to run
with the following message
"run-time error 339
component "vbalsgrid6.ocx" or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"
after doing abit of research i tried the following fix where i renamed the download and went into the program files showed all the hidden files and attempted to rename all the .exe files but it wouldn't let me re name any of them it just seems to stay the same so i gave up on that area.
i noticed that my disk backup feature kept continuously reporting failed due to there being insufficient memory on my hard drive also on my connection status icon it seems to say the same thing when i mouse over it " not enough storage is available to complete this operation. this is untrue ofc as i have over 60g free space remaining
i followed up on this issue and attempted to fix it. following this error code
0x800700E

NTFS File System

If your system partition is using the NTFS file system, it is possible that the system partition is corrupted and is causing the "stop 0x24" error message. 

To determine if this is the case, disconnect or turn off all other data disks that contain NTFS volumes. After you determine which disk contains the corrupted NTFS volume, move the disk to another Windows 2000-based computer that is running on the FAT or FAT32 file system, or install Windows 2000 on a disk that contains the FAT or FAT32 file system. After you do this, use the steps that are outlined in the "FAT or FAT32 File System" section.

Using Recovery Console on a Single Drive Computer

If your computer contains only a single NTFS volume and no additional Windows 2000-based computers or hard disks are available to use for the previously described methods, you can boot from the four Setup disks to run the Chkdsk tool with the Ntfs.sys driver disabled. To repair a NTFS volume by using Recovery Console, use the following steps:

1. Start the computer by using a Microsoft Windows 95/98 startup disk with CD-ROM support (or from another computer with a CD-ROM drive, insert the Windows 2000 installation CD-ROM).
2. Change to the CD_ROM:\Support\Bootdisk folder, and then run Makeboot.exe or Makebt32.exe to create the four Windows 2000 Setup disks.
3. Using Notepad, modify the Txtsetup.sif file on the first Setup disk you created in step 2:
   1. In the [FileSystems.Load] section, locate the line that begins with "ntfs."
   2. Insert a semicolon (;) at the beginning of the line, as shown in the following example:

      [FileSystems.Load]
      fat      = fastfat.sys
      ;ntfs     = ntfs.sys 

   3. Save your changes.
4. Start the computer that is experiencing the "stop 0x24" error message by using the four Setup disks. When the Welcome to Setup dialog box is displayed, press F10 to start Recovery Console.
5. Run the following command to repair the corrupted NTFS partition:
   chkdsk driveletter: /p
6. Type exit to quit Recovery Console, and then restart the computer.

If none of these methods work, you may have to delete, re-create, and format the corrupted NTFS partition, and restore the partition from your last good backup of the volume. The fdiskcommand in MS-DOS 5.x, MS-DOS 6.x, or Windows 95 and Windows 98 lets you to delete NTFS partitions by selecting and deleting the NON-DOS partition.
=========================
Check the BIOS AHCI or SATA 
Use http://www.ntfs.com/boot-disk.htm. 
Run UBCD and run the diagnostic on the drives.

You might want to run Memtest86+ overnight to confirm your RAM is stable, if you haven't done so already. If it's fancy RAM intended for above-normal voltages, make sure to go into your BIOS and manually set the voltage to the intended spec.
Another problem solved by proper application of the voltagez:

Fixed it by (if OS starts):
Right click on C:, Properties, Disk Cleanup, Files from all users, More
Options, Clean-up (System Restore and Shadow Copies). Repeated for all
partitions and System Restore is now working.

Look with a Linux Live CD for  an event file (*.evt). Copy it.
If you are able to get to SAFE MODE then you could find more detail in the EVENT VIEWER


Eventually: Clear all the EVENT VIEWER logs and then reboot to crash. Now back to SAFE MODE. And look for the events

1. If  the antivirus has failed. Uninstall it.
2. You can ignore DCOM entries.
3. In safe mode head to the services control panel and set SERVER to Automatic.
4. All entries with "not a valid Win32 application." are deep trouble. Let's gloss over those for the moment.
5. "The WebDav Client Redirector Driver service" is rarely used. While in the Services, set it to disabled for now.
6. Same for the The WebClient service.

The BSOD isn't saying ntfs.sys just the stop number, but I ran MS's minidump analyzer and it's the file behind it. I ran chkdsk on all my partitions and it found problems on a partition, but it's not the one Vista is on, might even have been on my external drive.
any ways, I installed Vista x64 today, I had XP telling me last weekend my E: NFTS was corrupt and needed to be fixed, I ran chkdsk it did it's thing and everything seemed okay. I've had this BSOD 2x on my new Vista install already. Google is turning up too many suggestions on what to do, MS's offical page about this seems weird (don't know how else to explain it) They make it sound like the ntfs.sys file needs to be replaced but they're talking about xfering the drive to a new system and doing all sorts of stuff.
I'm going to run Spinrite tonight on the drive to make sure it's not bad, I'll try to dig up another IDE cable. System is new, was built a few months ago and has ran pretty well. I'm not taking this lightly as it might be a bad HD or hardware problems, but none of the links I'm finding on google seem to break down how serious this is. I'm going to do a full backup tomorrow but if it's a software issue causing it, or the ntfs.sys file is bad a backup-restore won't help things.
Is it not possible to simply to boot to a UBCD and delete the ntfs.sys and copy the file off my Vista DVD?
-----------------
The analysis of the dump (!analyze -v) showed what? (Please turn on verifier, please force another BSOD, then please analyze the dumpfile.)
Re: Only Vista -> no third party drivers? No driver CDs used? You literally put the Vista CD in, installed Vista, and you can repro this crash? If that is the case, you have a hardware problem. That's not normal for a STOP 19.


=========================
Windows XP
boot the machine with your startup CD,
select "Repair", then select "Command Console".
Now rename
c:\winnt\system32\config\system to "system.bad", and
c:\winnt\system32\config\system.alt to "system".
=========================
RAID
You must suspect a hardware problem.
If this was an ordinary disk then I would do either of these:
a) Temporarily install the disk as a slave disk in some other WinXP PC, and run chkdsk /f on it; or
b) Temporarily install a spare disk in this machine (while the main disk is disconnected), install a vanilla version
of WinXP on this disk, then reconnect the problem disk so that I could check it.
In either case you could rename a suspected driver file after checking the disk.
You need to decide if either of these methods is feasible for your RAID set.
I use the ntfs.com recovery disk and I deleted and rebuilt the array, installed XP in striped set again and ran 
chkdsk /v, and there seem to be no problem with the disks.

Restoring a USB key using Linux

For use in windows:
Download the HP USB Format tool
USB Pendrive Linux install from Linux
Restoring your USB key to it's original state using Linux:
A. First we need to delete the old partitions that remain on the USB key.

1. Open a terminal and type sudo su
2. Type fdisk -l and note your USB drive letter.
3. Type fdisk /dev/sdx (replacing x with your drive letter)
4. Type d to proceed to delete a partition
5. Type 1 to select the 1st partition and press enter
6. Type d to proceed to delete another partition (fdisk should automatically select the second partition)

B. Next we need to create the new partition.

1. Type n to make a new partition
2. Type p to make this partition primary and press enter
3. Type 1 to make this the first partition and then press enter
4. Press enter to accept the default first cylinder
5. Press enter again to accept the default last cylinder
6. Type w to write the new partition information to the USB key
7. Type umount /dev/sdx (replacing x with your drive letter)

C. The last step is to create the fat filesystem.

1. Type mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdx1 (replacing x with your USB key drive letter)

That's it, you should now have a restored USB key with a single fat 32 partition that can be read from any not 16bit OS.

SHA1: 8B49F2A7A8DB22004985AD7E905435753545A82A
CRC32: 02404775
The above iSO file is not bootable from a USB Stick, to make it bootable from a USB Stick please follow the instructions below
Important Information:
* When installing Eee7, The final phase of installation (Finalizing Installation) could take some time depending on the netbook to have.
* If you do not have drivers for Vista to install the devices , then simply download the drivers for XP, go to the executable file (. Exe) that you downloaded, right click -> Properties -- > Compatibility and check the option "Run this program in compatibility mode" for:
Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
To be able to install the netbook due to lack of dvd drive,we should prepare a USB Flash to make it bootable.
What we need:
* USB Flash Drive (2GB + more)
* The DVD which we burned the image of the iso that you downloaded
* A computer with Vista / Windows 7
Step 1: Formating the USB Flash
The following steps we will use the command prompt to create the appropriate Usb flash fomat with diskpart. [Note: It will erase all the data on USB Flash, be careful.]
1. Connect the USB Flash Drive
2. Open the command prompt as administrator (Go Start> All Programs> Accesories, right click on the "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator"
3. To find out what number corresponds to the USB Flash Drive you should type the following in the window of the "Command Prompt":
diskpart
list disk
The number corresponding to your USB will be appear in the list (see the USB and the capacity of)
This number will need in the next step. Suppose that the USB Flash Drive is the disk 1.
4. Format the USB typing the following commands in the same window. Attention, replace the number "1" on disk 1 to the number of your drive as emerged from the above list.
select disk 1
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs = NTFS
assign
exit
When you enter this, you will have a USB Flash Drive formatted ready to be bootable.
Step 2: Let's make the USB bootable
we will use the application bootsect that is in the EEE7 DVD.
We will use the same command prompt window from Step 1:
1. Put the dvd of Eee7 in the drive of your computer.
2. Change the drive in the command prompt with that which is your drive. Suppose that the DVD drive is D:
d:
cd d: \ boot
3. We will use the bootsect to define the USB as a bootable NTFS drive ready to accept the Eee7.
Suppose that the USB Flash Drive is G: \, your position in G: \ put the letter of your USB.
Enter:
bootsect / nt60 g:
4. You can close the command prompt,now the USB is bootable.
Step 3: Copy files from DVD to USB Flash drive
The easiest way is through the windows. Copy all files from DVD and paste it in the USB flash drive. Just copy all the files, you're ready.
Step 4: Set the BIOS to boot from USB
