This is a link describing the activation process for norton 2004 it is the same for 2005. I'm having big problems at step 20 and 21. When i click next in 20 the program crashes!! I don't seem to have any problems during installation.

Can anyone help?
is it virus related?

Do yourself a favor and return it. Read post from me.

We can fix this, but you're gonna need a butter knife, a roll of duct tape, and a car battery

did you try skipping registration.
"activate your product now but skip registration"
(step 17) and if that fails skip activation for now and run it as trialware for 2 weeks, that worked for me.

I installed nav 2004 on one pc and 2005 on another and I don't remember seeing all of that. but I installed it as a trial first and then input the activation key on the last day of the trial

Yeah i tried skipping the activation but when i try and open Norton it crashes badly. This is the second time i'm installing it as the first time the program failed. I think i have a problem actually connecting to the server to allow activation.

if you have a problem activating from the server then you can activate it over the phone.

Apparently this is a big problem. when you reach the "click next to activate" screen the program crashes. even if you try n activate by phone the same thing happens.
it could be that i have a virus.
