    Error 5: Access is denied.


    Hello, I have been getting Error 5: Access denied for a few days. I cannot install new programs; this error will always just pop up.

    I've scanned for viruses (a lot showed up, but were cleaned. My AV is Comodo.), tried a System Restore, but all my restore points are gone except for the ones today, using the built in administrator account, using the "Run as administrator" option, and making a new account. Nothing has worked.
