Vipre Antivirus Home Update Will Not Install

[AWS]

I successfully installed this program on an HP computer running Windows 8, 64-bit, but the AMD processor was incredibly slow in download and install of programs and essentially made other programs unusable during downloads.  I returned the machine (after

reformatting the hard drive to original state).  My Vipre Antivirus Home software also runs just fine on Windows 7, 64 bit.  The machine that it will not install on is a Sony VAIO Tap 20" All-In-One running Intel Core i7.  I have tried disabling the Windows

Firewall, added the Vipre program to allow it through the Windows Firewall, removed all other antivirus software, and fully updated both Windows and my Microsoft Office programs.  The Vipre software update downloads automatically and comes up on the taskbar

in the "Home Screen" view.  It installs just fine until the very end, when a Windows Error Message pops up saying that it is "Unable to Install Drivers" and the installation freezes until I click on the "X" or "OK" of the Error Message.  Note that the program

specifically instructs one to ignore Windows Error Messages during installation--however, the machine simply hangs up when the message is displayed regardless of how long I wait.  There is no mention of this program problem on the Vipre website or the Windows

Tech. Support website.  HELP, please
