Can't install Ad-Aware or Spybot S&D??

Hi all,
I have recently installed COMODO firewall and AVAST anti-virus following the expiration of my 1yr free Mcafee from Sky.
I then tried to install the above spyware utilities but both come up with an error?
"Error 1304. Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Security\aawservice.exe. Verify you have access to that directory"
I have a folder set up for all security software (comodo and avast are installed into this folder) and at install prompt I changed the path to this folder - could this be causing the problem???
Any advice would be appreciated!
