Can anyone help? Everytime i try to open or install anti spyware programs, the installation just disappears and even the download site will close too. this doesn't happen on all anti spyware, but it does for like microsoft anti spyware, spyware doctor, spyware balster, most of them. anti virus programs work but they don't find any viruses. otherwise, evrything seems to be working fine on my comp. I would really like to figure this one out, PLEASE HELP!!!!

Try this tool may work http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html
You may have to put it on a floppy or cd and run it in safe mode as admistrator but try just downloading to the desktop first.
If it does work and you need further assistance post a HT log.
