Local machine: installation failed Error: Action failed for file avgamsvr.exe: creating file....

When I try to install an other antivirus program AVG, it encounters this problem
Local machine: installation failed
Installation:
Error: Action failed for file avgamsvr.exe: creating file....
No such file or directory
So the installation also failed.

Sucking man I cant able to install any antivirus software and also cannot able to do any online scanning. So finally googled and got the solution.
Please download ComboFix by sUBs:

NOTE: In the event you already have ComboFix, this is a new version that I need you to download.
  • Save it to your desktop.
  • Double-click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Copy and paste the contents of the log in your next reply.

CAUTION: Please do NOT mouse-click ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall. Also, please do NOT adjust your time format while ComboFix is running.
This software combofix fixes my problem. There is a trojan horse in my pc which gave all these problems and headache to me.
The names of the trojans are
Trojan horse Downloader.Generic6.RLS
Trojan horse Downloader.Generic6.REC
Trojan horse IRC/Backdoor.SdBot3.VEH
Hurray now my PC is working very finely and now problem at all :).
