Norton 2013 and Restart Issues in Windows 8 Pro

Hello,

 

At least 75% or more of the time when I choose the option within Windows 8 Pro to restart my computer, it hangs on the screen where it says "restarting" and the computer never reboots.  This has always happened since I installed Norton 2013, never had an issue with other versions of Norton.  I have also just got a new computer and installed Norton 2013 as well.  The same exact thing is happening.  Without Norton installed, I don't see the issue.

 

Is this a known issue and is their a work around?

 

I am not very fond of having to "hard" shutdown my PC since eventually I am going to corrupt something.  Otherwise, I guess I will have to look for another security product.

 

Thanks for your help.
