The error message about "installservie.exe" usually comes from a leftover installer/service entry that points to a file that no longer exists. The HijackThis output in the OP shows a Cisco installer service registered with its executable missing, so the installer is likely detecting that stale service and aborting. This builds on 's note about removing the O20/ACNotify entry and updating Java (those are good housekeeping), but the immediate blocker looks like a broken Cisco install-service entry.

Suggested steps (safe, in order):

  1. Stop and remove the stale Cisco installer service. From an elevated Command Prompt run:

    sc query "CiscoVpnInstallService"
sc stop "CiscoVpnInstallService"
sc delete "CiscoVpnInstallService"

    If the service is not present, the query will say so; if stop errors, proceed to delete. Export the service registry key first if uncomfortable.

  2. Clean remaining Cisco components: uninstall any Cisco VPN entries via Add/Remove Programs, open Device Manager -> View -> Show hidden devices and remove Cisco virtual network adapters, and delete leftover Cisco folders in Program Files and any temporary installer folders (the log showed a Desktop\vpn path).

  3. Temporarily disable security/firewall software (ZoneAlarm, Symantec/Norton) while installing. Security suites can quarantine extracted service files and cause "file missing" errors; if Symantec was previously installed, use the vendor removal/clean-up tool before reinstalling.

  4. Reinstall from a fresh, official copy (place the installer in a local folder, not a removable drive or ephemeral temp folder) and run as an admin in normal mode (Safe Mode usually will not install VPN drivers/services correctly). If the package is MSI, capture a verbose log:

    msiexec /i "C:\path\to\installer.msi" /l*v C:\vpn_install.log

    Check the log and Event Viewer (Application/System) for the exact failure.

Cautions and wrap-up: create a System Restore point and export any registry keys before editing/deleting. If uncomfortable editing services/registry, use Sysinternals Autoruns to remove the stale entry. After a clean removal and fresh install (then re-enable security) the "installservie.exe not found" symptom is commonly resolved.

Hi... a few points:
Visit the Symantec website for the removal tool for the version of their AV that you used before adopting Lenovo's solution.
Your Java is not updated.
Use hijackthis to remove this entry:
O20 - Winlogon Notify: ACNotify - ACNotify.dll (file missing)

No problems are evident on your log.
Have you used another VPN before attempting to install Cisco's?
