Download error:5

I am trying to install Cox Security Suite powered by McAfee. I keep getting "Download Error:5" while downloading programs. I tried the virtual technician but it wasn't able to fix the errors. I followed instructions to manually delete temp files, cookies, etc. I tried the download again and failed with the same error. I then found the McAfee preinstall tool and tried the tool and download again. This time, the download was able to proceed a little further but still failed. Please Help!
