    FIX these using hijack ~
    O2 - BHO: AskBar BHO - !!201f27d4-3704-41d6-89c1-aa35e39143ed} - C:\Program Files\AskBarDis\bar\bin\askBar.dll
    O2 - BHO: NCO 2.0 IE BHO - !!602ADB0E-4AFF-4217-8AA1-95DAC4DFA408} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: SWWBHO - !!6BFBC258-01EC-4d21-9E73-085E2F73EFDD} - C:\Program Files\Cashback Alerter\CA.dll
    O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - !!7FEBEFE3-6B19-4349-98D2-FFB09D4B49CA} - (no file)
    O3 - Toolbar: Ask Toolbar - !!3041d03e-fd4b-44e0-b742-2d9b88305f98} - C:\Program Files\AskBarDis\bar\bin\askBar.dll

    Then download update and run FULL scans with Malwarebytes and Superantispyware

    You also have some file running related to some bittorrent program? ~
    C:\Users\LISSY\Program Files\DNA\btdna.exe
    Id guess thats not good either. Maybe you could shed some light on it?

    have done all you suggested but still not able to install - would it harm it if i tried the 64 bit removal tool ?

    dont know what the bittorrent thingy is - its my DD laptop and she runs msn mainly on here

    Try it by all means (Though if the 32 bit DID work, i doubt the 64 bit will)

    If still no good you could try to install in safe mode

    Does it say a reason why?

    Id say FIX these as they look dodgy as hell to me ~
    C:\Users\LISSY\Program Files\DNA\btdna.exe
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [BitTorrent DNA] "C:\Users\LISSY\Program Files\DNA\btdna.exe"

    reboot and run a fresh hijack log (And try and install again)

    Did it die as soon as you fixed those odd 'bittorrent' files?

    Certainly worth trying toms idea whatever the reason
