Thanks to the users who answered my message. I shut down Windows Firewall, Account Notifications and Defender and was able to get a clean download of 4.13 and so far it's running well. Also the Windows explorer bug which kept blanking my screen for a second every few minutes has stopped. I had done a forced uninstall with Revo Uninstaller Pro which seemed to have cleaned up anything left behind by my previous install attempts. It's working well now, I'll keep my fingers crossed
Thanks for the help.
