Disable Norton long enough to install whatever mod pack you want to play. I would assume Tekkit, since that's the version number you gave.

[Penguins_4sale]

The problem is that I can't even get that far, I messed up and said tekkit not technic I also got the versions confused too, yet I can't even run the launcher even if I turn off all my PC security when I download and run it.
