Cannot Access Settings

When I open up Norton from the desktop shortcut and try to click on "Settings" the icon changes color but the second tab doesn't open. Another thread (https://community.norton.com/forums/cant-access-settings-menu) has the same problem as I do. I'm on Windows 8 and have tried right clicking and running as an Admin, but when I do a pop-up occurs and is something like

"Do you want the following to make changes on your computer?

Name: Norton Protection Center UI Stub

Publisher: Symantic Corporation"

If I hit yes, Norton opens but still doesn't allow me to access the settings tab. If I hit no, Norton doesn't open.
