Using Windows 7 on my HP desktop in not installing Norton 2012. It takes the product key and begins and then says: Another Norton product has been detected and is being removed now. And then it runs on for hours trying to do this. Any suggestions?

Is this a new computer?
What security software did you have on this computer before trying to install NIS? If there was anything other than a Norton product, you will have to use the removal utility for that product to fully remove it.
If you have only had Norton on the computer, because you have been having trouble, you should fully remove the previous versions with the Norton Removal Tool.
Download the Norton Removal Tool from here www.norton.com/nrt
Download a fresh copy of NIS 2012 from here www.norton.com/nis12
If you use Identity Safe, backup/export your data. Use the CSV format for compatibility.
Uninstall your Norton product with Windows control panel.
Reboot.
Run the Norton Removal Tool.
Reboot.
Run the NIS installer.
Run LiveUpdate manually a few times, rebooting as necessary, until no updates are available.
Try to log into your Identity Safe. If you can, you are done. If not, Import your Identity Safe data.
Please let us know how it goes.
