Hi JoaquimW,

      Encountering such error message when installing Norton Antivirus might probably you still has the antivirus running on your computer.  You must uninstall it by opening the " add or remove program" and you should reboot it.  Open the website and search for the KB article. To solve the error message you have to let  the FIX IT run in the aggressive and default modes. Then after doing all of these don't forget to reboot it again and test it.

Hope this might help you.

Thanks

Hello JoaquimW,

It seems like you were installing a version of norton that is not compatible with the operating system that you are using. Since your operating system is XP, you should search the internet for a norton version that is compatible to windows XP and install it.

Another possible reason why the installation does not go well is because the norton setup might be corrupt. Maybe the setup is broken, and therefore you will have to go back to the internet and search for a setup that does not have problems. Ensure that you check for the health of the download and ensure that it is OK.
