Reset Windows - now can't install Antivirus?

[Flanelman]

Hey guys, so i reset windows this morning and now i'm unable to install anti virus? I tried Avast and AVG and both fail during installation. I've tried starting the install again multiple times and re downloading but neither will work. AVG just says "There was an error while completing the setup process" and Avast says "Avast installer is unable to continue because the installer is corrupted or is forbidden to run on this machine" Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Honestly you should just do away with AVG or Avast. Windows Defender is decent and won't nag you every hour like the aforementioned two would.

Are you using an admin user? That could be why its not allowing you to install admin permission applications.

That's what comes installed with Windows 10 right? So you don't think I need an external Anti Virus?

Yeah I'm using an admin user, I can't think of anything else that could prevent it tho since it's at factory settings?

Yep it's what comes shipped with Windows. I haven't used one since updating to Windows 10. Just installed Malwarebytes on the side.
