Norton Internet Security is made by Symantec, not Microsoft. You'd probably
get a better answer from the free support groups and knowledge base
available at www.sarc.com

Be sure you are logged in with an account that has administrator permissions
when doing the install. I might recommend enabling auditing to see what
folder is being denied access.
http://securityadmin.info/faq.htm#auditing

If Windows 2000 or XP was already installed and you didn't format the
partition, it could be that the permissions on some files and folders are
pointing to other logon accounts that don't exist in this installation of
Windows. [Administrator in your previous install of Windows is NOT the same
account as Administrator in your new install of Windows, since it's the SID
and not the user name that matters.]

If the permissions are incorrect, you can reset the permissions to the
default by using Group Policy:
http://securityadmin.info/faq.htm#4.11

Be sure that Norton Internet Security includes antivirus, I can't confirm or
deny that it does.
