Answer 5

We met the same issue in one Dell computer. Finally we found it was caused by the ByteFence Anti-malware software. After we uninstalled it, npm works.

Answer 6

I had got the same error while installing angular/cli. On uninstalling the anti-malware on my Windows 10 machine worked as the trick, I was able to successfully install angular/cli. The anti-malware in some ways restricts the installation of certain modules via npm.
