Check your directory premissions:
'help' > 'System info' > 'Directory Permissions'
All least these folders should be writeable:

• administrator/components/
• administrator/language/en-GB/
• components/
• tmp/

You can also enable the FTP layer and try to install again.

You are probably dealing with a corrupt download. Both Symantec and McAfee are known to corrupt downloads with certain settings. They can also corrupt the extensions send and received by email. So try this: go to the download area, disable the firewall/virusscanner, download the file, enable the firewall/virusscanner.
