this and latest post. You shouldn't have 2 AV running (or trying to) at the same time. They will conflict. You can have a main one and disable it to run an "on demand" scan with a 2nd and after return to previous state. In particular, Norton DOESN'T play well with others. Wants to be the only boss.
I'm not sure why you want Norton instead of AVG but.. there you have it.
I would download entire program into your My Documents folder and then install from there(if possible). That way you have a clean copy you can use to re-install if necessary. I wouldn't do an online install because of 2 AV story and not 2 seconds on net without AV of some kind.
If you have fully downloaded Norton and are ready to install, you should be OFF the net and Close (disable)AVG Control Center or completely un-install it before applying Norton. It would be good if you have a re-installable AVG or Avast or(?)..on hand in case Norton continues to act up. Do you have "other blockers" active (Spybot's Tea Timer or Spywaregaurd or)? Could also affect install.
I'm going to reply to your "get rid of it" post there. 
I just bought the 2006 version to be downloaded,tried several times to no avail. I get to hte window that says components are being installed,and it just becomes unresponsive until I close it. I also have Avg running. I have hp 7935 running winxp.
