SFC issues resulting in failed updates, drivers and some programs won't install. Computer has slowed down.

Malwarebytes won't install. When I try, I get the expected splash screens but when I accept the install, it sits for about 30 seconds and then disappears without an error message.
 
Cleanup seemed to run fine. REboot and it started the Installer. No good. Then did the repair including all options. Automatic reboot each time. Again, Installation program starts, but waits about 30 seconds and disappears.

AdwCleaner (by Malwarebytes) to your desktop.
Close all programs and save any work you have open.
Rightclick AdwCleaner and select 'Run as administrator'.

Click I AGREE on the welcome page.
Click Scan Now.
If updates are available they will be downloaded first.
When the scan is complete click Skip Basic Repair and close the program.
Attach the file C:\AdwCleaner\Logs\AdwCleaner[S00].txt to your next reply.
 
Sorry, but Adwcleaner starts the scan, but hangs without actually scanning anything.
 
Perform a scan with "Microsoft Security Essentials" which is already on your computer.
 
The scan has started. This will take several hours. I'll let you know when complete.
 
Note: Security Essentials runs a scan automatically every Thurs and hasn't picked up or quarantined anything.
 
We will wait on the result of the latest scan. Do the updates for MSE install ?
 
Completed the SE Scan after definition update. "No unwanted or harmful software detected. Your computer is running normally."

Might be tomorrow before I can get to this. Meanwhile, SFC now reports not finding any integrity violations. I still can't load stuff, but it's an improvement.
 
Hopefully, this might help. Looking at your last script, I decided to try installing Malwarebytes again. The Scanner (a stand-alone .exe) still doesn't load, but the Malwarebytes Trial Software "package" Installer (MB4-setup-consumer...) ran fine, seems to have installed the suite and even updated itself. Trying to run it, I get a popup error "PROGRAM_ERROR_UPDATING (0, 0, Host not found).
 
There seems to be a problem with the network/internet connection. Is this computer connected to your router with a network cable or wireless ?
