I am trying to install Symantec Anti Virus v. 10.1.6.
I keep getting this error, even though I am logged on with an account that has administrator rights to the Windows XP computer.
What can be done to fix this?

I performed a System Restore to last week, and was then able to install Symantec Antivirus, which then completely deleted all traces of any viruses.
Thank you to everyone for all of your tips!
