Turn off your virus scanner.
Install it.
It should work, if not allow the bass.exe in the folder where it is by the Virus scanner.

Turn on your network again, this was to prevent malware/spyware to send anything, obviously this doesn't matter if you don't do a virus scan for malware/spyware.

It would be the best if it is possible to disable it, and my experience with nortan isn't very good because it would kinda block everything which sucks.

Or try what Martinerrr suggested.

In all seriousness, get fucking rid of it. "Best" solution? Clean install of windows (it embeds its shit into the most stupid of places). Most logical? Get their uninstaller (if they still have it, last time I dealt with norton shit was in 2006 I think).

http://www.malwarebytes.org/

Use the free versions, as they work well. No offense or anything, but Norton is horrible. Hope this helps.
(To uninstall programs, you can to go control panel -> Programs -> Uninstall)

While I do agree to use any of these, do not use them all at once. Anti virus programs will conflict with each other, each of them thinks a program reading all the files on your computer is a virus.

Post by: Thor ?? ??¢ ??? ?² ?© on February 13, 2012, 07:25:38 PM: While this is the case with some anti-virus programs, I use Malware Bytes and MSE and neither have conflicted. I didn't try scanning both of them at the same time, but if they freak out if you do (Why would you, it'd slow it down a bit :V) it'd be a false positive.

Post by: Christopher Jay on February 14, 2012, 12:13:01 AM: disable auto protect, it's the right click option on the icon in the right corner.

re-enable it after installing.
