I have tried 3 times to install but every time it hangs at a different point.
I have used symntec support site which is really good but am still trying to
install...extremely frustrated. If I sort it I will let you know

Unfortunately I was looking at PC Magazine's November 30, 2004, issue. It
was in First Looks Utilities section. They compared McAfee and Norton new
internet security software packages. NIS 2005 had and overall 4 and half
circles. MIS 2005.7.0 was only give an overall of 3 circles. They
indicated "For those making a fresh start, we'd recommend the Norton entry
instead." I was having trouble with BlackIce and already had Norton
Antivirus, so I jumped in.

Norton Internet Security was not rated highly in the article above.
Furthermore, neither Norton Internet Security nor McAfee Internet Security
were recommended or received an Editors' Choice. Details of specific
problems are included in the article.

I know how you feel though. I was lured into buy a PC Mag Editors' Choice
once. Found out later that SpySweeper only runs on one account (the
account it was installed on), and the memory-resident always-on protection
only runs on one account (the account it was installed on). So my PC fills
up with spyware, if i use an account other than Admin.

I heard a lot of good things about Norton Internet Security 2005 and was
very impressed by the write-up and comparison to McAfee in PC Magazine.
Norton Antivirus worked well for me, but my BlackIce was starting to give
me problems, so I decided to give it a try. It has been installed less
than 2 weeks and it blew me out of the water. After the update on
Wednesday night, Microsoft Outlook was no longer able to send/receive any
e-mails. Turning off the firewall corrected the problem. I tried
everything to correct the problem, but eventually had to uninstall and
reinstall NIS 2005 to get everything working again. In working the
problem, NIS 2005 also ended up hanging number of times when I was trying
to make simple changes among the various options.

I am interested in if others are having similar challenges or if this was
just a fluke and it will be smooth sailing from here???
