Slowness and Hanging with Product and Installation

Look, I apologize for starting off negative, but I now remember why I dumped this product.  Please prove me wrong...

I have a splash screen that is spinning and even the product installed seems hung.  I think I have already installed the product twice.  It shows in my Control-Panel programs.
Whatever I installed for $14.95 says my licenses are active, but as soon as I installed my machine just slowed down to a crawl.  
Windows 8.1

What is going on?
Installing a product should be much simpler and smooth.

1) Please verify I have paid for this

2) offer me some idea why it's SOOOooo sloow.  I can't even get it to do a Security scan.

Thank you!

if its showing twice installed that would be a problem, from the screen shot it apears thats the case  ( shows downloading with its open and not signed in)

 

i would remove/ unistall both using the rnr tool ( remove and restore) do not use that to reinstall

you should have a install downlaod in your account save that

after you run the rnr tool restart ( thats for both installations might come up as one )

install with the installion you saved and let it run seems to take 10 minutes or so ( time varys) than you will reach the sing into account page sign in and it should activate and open norton

next step after that happens ( being no other problems with sign in)

run the live update, and that could require a few restarts, after you got that all updated i would run the auto fix tool

in classic mode ( as shown in your screen shot) top right click help, next screen on left click get support

that generally finds a installation issue , let that finish and restart

that should have you up and running

 

Hello again. The larger question is where did you download Norton for that low price?

In an attempt to fix the issue. Remove Norton. Next thing to attempt is disable fast startup, and reboot the computer. Reboot not shut down and power on again. Here is how that is accomplished. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4189-turn-off-fast-startup-windows-1...

To verify that your purchase is valid please log into your Norton account. https://my.norton.com/ 

Your current subscription should show within your account under subscriptions. Download your Norton product from within your Norton account links and install. Follow on screen prompts.
