You need to patch RPC (Remote Procedure Call) on your system. Either run Windows Update or download the patch seperately from Microsoft.

You should also run a virus scan because you may have the Blaster Worm. You can use Symantec's fix/removal tool HERE.

Are you installing them to System | Library | Fonts folder? That gives access to every user on that computer. You can also install them to Macintosh HD | Users | <username> | Library | Fonts for individual user use.

Also, are you running any modified HOSTS files?
