Norton decided to install in German for me, although it never asked. According to the help file, you can also do it the following way (translated into English):

    * Please open Norton Internet Security Center by clicking the system tray icon and chosing the appropriate option.
    * Now click on the tab "Norton Internet Security" and click on "Settings."
    * Click the Internet Usage option "Personal Firewall."
    * Click "deactivate"

After a tortorous and never seeming to end install of this crapware, I would appreciate if you either agree to use the first option, or to double check for me. I am not really fond of tricking Norton to think I am not a silly German and allowing me to download a proper installer....
