try switching the machine off and press f8 to get into safe mode as you restart
Try Installing it in safe mode

If you select safe mode with networking, install it run an update and then run a full scan, all while in safe mode, then restart the computer.

I personally would also install, update and scan with malwarebytes as well while you are in safe mode.
