Hello,
When I try to install programs I've downloaded, I get the security pop-up "do you want to let this program make changes" and i click yes. Then, nothing! I have tried this on many different programs, most recently AmazonMP3DownloaderInstall.exe but also java installer jxpiinstall.exe.
I use Norton 360, so i disabled the firewall and virus protection to see if that was the problem, but nothing happened.
This is an HP p6823w with 64bit win8, 12GB Ram and an ATI Radeon HD4200 graphics adapter.

lol, people think that we are just some ignorant teenager sitting in our moms and dads basements... When in fact, I am in webinars all day with the developers with Microsoft. Its not a "fix" or a "issue" it has been designed this way. One of the BIGGEST reasons PCs lose performance is because Norton and McAfee and these other "services" will stop Window's critical services for maintenance and upkeep, like your automatic defrag and disk cleanups, thus is one of the major reasons people see performance decreases over periods of time. Not to include these programs, in the past, have been given full access to critical code in programs, like Internet Explorer, where they can change default settings to something less "secure" or something more "restricting" when it comes to features. For example, back in Windows Vista days, the UAC was meant to be a way to fight 3rd party programs from changing things like your settings, without you knowing. But when you allowed Norton (I believe it was the 2007 version) , it would change all of your IE settings to "allow". So anytime a script tried to run, no mater how malicious it was, you was powerless to stop it. Norton backed up their action by stating that, even if your machine runs the script our program will stop it from harming your machine. That's kind of like saying "Ill put a hole in your boat and we will just use a pale to throw the water back out again". We all know that PREVENTION is the best way to fight malware, and Windows by itself does a better job than any 3rd party program at prevention by simply using the screen filter, UAC, phishing filters, and so on.
