Have you got any other anti-virus or anti-spyware or firewall running on your computer?

Are you trying to safe the file or run it directly after saving?
Do you have a dial-up? Can you use a download manager?
Are you trying to download from the official site?

Your log is confusing me... too much 'not okay' messages...
Did you install any other antivirus before avast? Any other security program that could be interfering?

I suggest an installation from the scratch:

1. Uninstall avast from Control Panel first.
2. Boot.
3. Use Avast Uninstall for complete uninstallation.
4. Boot.
5. Install again the last version.
6. Boot.
7. Check and post the results.

The install failed, but it may have managed to do some of the installation before it failed, so you need to get rid of that failed install. The default location for avast is C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4, check to see if that was created.

If you can't do it with a regular add remove programs (with is likely because of the failed install) then you use the uninstall utility and continue from step 3 of Tech's Instructions which includes a link to download the avast Uninstall Utility.

Well the windows error 1006 = "The volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer valid." So something would appear to have corrupted the file.

Did you use a download manager to download the file ?
If so try without one.

Try downloading from another trusted location, http://www.download.com/Avast-Home-Edition/3000-2239_4-10602417.html?tag=lst-0-1. This link is from the avast.com home page is an alternative download link for the English version of avast Home.
