XP won't let me install Eset Nod32 antivirus

I will try installing Nod32 in safe mode and see what happens.

That's fine if it works for you. It's not what I'd do, but it's your
computer and your time.

Since it appears that you can not install an antivirus nor Windows
Defender it appears *likely* that the system is now owned by someone
other than yourself, Miklos.
Is there any anti-malware software installed ?
You could try: Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to
repair file and registry permissions

At least you'll know if it's an OS glitch or malware then.
Suggest you try here if malware is suspected:

Scan Your Computer with Kaspersky SOS
http://usa.kaspersky.com/products_services/free-virus-scanner.php

IF you can get that installed perhaps you will have a fighting chance
against whatever the malware is.
