| 1144424 | 2010-10-13 08:02:00 | My daughter has a new computer and before connecting it to the internet we wanted to install Avast Home Free which I'd downloaded on my computer. However, we got this error message when we tried to install it: "An error 1006 (000003EE) has ocurred. Last performed operation was opening the self extract archive. Try to download the setup file again. If you use Internet Explorer clear its cache before downloading" Any ideas please? |

| 1144426 | 2010-10-13 08:11:00 | The setup file was downloaded on my computer not hers and installs perfectly well on my computer. Only get the error message when we try to install it on her computer. | Shortstop (632) | ||
| 1144427 | 2010-10-13 08:20:00 | Try Microsoft Security Essentials www.microsoft.com I think it's actually better than Avast now. its free as well |

| 1144428 | 2010-10-13 08:36:00 | So I again downloaded the MS Essentials setup file on my computer but again couldn't install it on my daighter's computer - message said it was incompatible although both computers are running Win 7 x64. So what gives? | Shortstop (632) | ||
| 1144429 | 2010-10-13 08:38:00 | Did you check and see if NVIDIA ForceWare Network Access Manager was installed?? Did you get the right version of MSE?? You probably downloaded the 32 bit version | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1144430 | 2010-10-13 08:42:00 | Read this other forum (forums.techarena.in) - exact same problem, read the problem, and posts 2,4,5,6. IF the nvidia firewall is installed, it can cause problems with the installing of ANY software. Wouldn't matter if it were Avast, MSSE - or another brand. IF the nvidia firewall is not installed, then theres another problem someplace. |

| 1144431 | 2010-10-13 08:48:00 | No, was the 64 bit version and in system devices can only see NVIDIA nForce PCI System management. | Shortstop (632) | ||
| 1144432 | 2010-10-13 08:56:00 | Look in program and features not device manager. Its a program / software | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1144433 | 2010-10-13 09:00:00 | No, not there | Shortstop (632) | ||
