Are you using some download manager of sorts? What browser are you using?

You should be seeing this:

using google chrome to download and no download manager.

 

[John12]

yes that's exactly what i'm doing in your screenshots. It appears in that box and I run it.

Can you download it to a different location on the disk, then run it from within Windows Explorer by right-clicking on it and choosing 'Run as Administrator'.

 

[John12]

Re-downloaded it and saved it to SkyDrive then right click and ran as admin, same error.

I got it working by downloading it from here
Download Microsoft Security Essentials from Official Microsoft Download Center

ENUS\amd64\MSEInstall.exe

I uninstalled Avast and installed Microsft Security ESsential successfully. Is Avast better than MSE?

 

[Golden]

MSE never BSOD's, whereas Avast does on some systems. Once your system is stable, you can try different antivirus products if you like.

Personally, I use MSE and Malwarebytes. Asking which AV is better, opens a can of worms as everyone has their own opinions, and it becomes like a religious debate. use what works best for you.

okay sounds good I have malwarebytes paid version as well. I've been using it for 2 years. Plus I also paid for super antisypware.
