It is possible the computer already has a virus that is preventing the installation of anti-virus software. You may have to reinstall the operating system from scratch to get rid of the virus.

There is no other reason I can think of as to why the computer will not install the software.

Why does Mcafee say that the Adobe upgrade is a virus?

It is most likely a false-positive, in which an antivirus software incorrectly identifies a program as a virus. Installation programs sometimes mimic virus activity, so disable your antivirus program for the installation if you want to. However, McAfee may be right in saying that "Adobe" (possible a Trojan) is a virus. In that case, install with caution and scan your computer afterwards.

Please use clearer language, but your "avast" is either a virus or too new for your computer. Try buying a new one and ensuring you have the official program from the avast website.
