Can't Install Norton Security on my Laptop...
I can't run Norton Security on my laptop because the machine keeps shutting down due to multiple spyware. I was able to download the program to my desktop, but when I begin the install program...the machine shuts down. Please HELP!

Try and see if you can get into safe mode. Reboot the computer and immediately keep tapping F8. Once you get to a black screen with a list of commands, choose "safe mode." See if you can get into safe mode.
