I have tried disabling the firewall.
The problem also occurs with Kaspersky and is not specific to Norton.

What happens if you change the extension of the file before downloading so save the file as installer.txt instead of installer.exe then change the extension back after the download has completed?

It's clearly terrible, so uninstall it. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, download a half decent internet security package like Kaspersky (I use KIS 2016, just upgraded to the latest version yesterday) and it's very good. Other softwares are available. Windows Defender will give you the most basic of antivirus protection along with Windows Firewall until you install a proper AV solution.
Tip: if you have a Barclays account and use online banking, they have offered free 3-PC licenses through the online banking portal for several years now. In lieu of meaningful interest rates, it's the best benefit you'll get from a free current account... Look for "Kaspersky Offer".

It could be the settings, but I think there is something else going on preventing this - perhaps a rogue thingy?
