    Anyone have an idea as to how to check for virus's when no anti-virus programs will download correctly ( all have different errors ...corrupt files, error with definitions, etc.). Suspect its why xp keeps having problems (even installation with a reformat and clean install). Spy sweeper has found a few things, but AVG freeware won't install, Avast won't install .... getting frustrated.

    So it found 4 virus's and 19 infected files ..... so I downloaded their free trial anti-virus program ..... just like the all the other anti-virus downloads, wouldn't install due to corrupt files .....(the infections were trojans).
