unable to install, computer is a sitting duck

This is the first time that I ask for help regarding my computer. So please don't shoot me if I say something totally noob.

My computer has a weird problem. I think it has a virus of some kind. First I will tell you the symtoms

-Avast can't be started. When I try to start it, it says that ashavast.exe couldn't be located. I tried to reinstall it several times, but the same error keeps occuring.
-My firewall is gone for some reason. I first used sygate personal firewall but it doesn't start anymore when my computer starts. I tried to reinstall it but something doesn't allow it. When I try to install some other firewall (zonealarm) it will not complete the installation.
-When I try to install an other antivirus program AVG, it encounters this problem
Local machine: installation failed
Installation:
Error: Action failed for file avgamsvr.exe: creating file....
No such file or directory
So the installation also failed.
-Without any antivirus and firewall, my computer is unprotected and this results in popups, even when my browser isn't open (celldorado.com etc). I thought my IE 7 was corrupted, so I uninstalled it. But when I tried to reinstall it, the installation failed. the error says that the system couln't locate the desired file. And now my media player won't start anymore.

I hope there is someone who can help me. This is the worst case I have ever encountered. I think there is one basic problem with my computer, which leads to all kinds of problems. I'll post my hijack this file now:

So hopefully I have profided enough information for you guys to help me. If not, please ask which information you need. I will post them asap.

My computer has no protection anymore, so it's open for attack, please help me. I'm using adaware, cc-cleaner, pc tools firewall plus and Active security monitor, as a last resource. But these aren't enough.

I hope it's not too late, complete formattation would be complete hell.
