Live run update failing, fix now failing

In plain English, step by step for a computer illiterate person, what is going on?  I paid 80.00 for this protection and I don't have any...It says I must run a fix, and when I click on that, then it starts the run live update for HOURS HOURS HOURS and nothing gets done.  Can Norton fix this issue because I personally do not have the skills to do so.
