These 'free' scanning programs can do untold damage to your PC, and in some cases will infect your PC with virus / malaware You should not think of upgrading any software whilst you have a problem, the problem needs fixing first Its not entirely clear what your problem is, other than a game you attempted to download failed, which could be for any number of reasons.
