I had a similar problem before, it told me that it was done
installing, even though it wasn't. When I restarted, the files were
corrupted, and Norton wouldn't do anything with them. What I would
try is uninstalling first, and then look for and delete anything the
installer left behind (including the defs). Then reinstall and try
the update again.
As far as /temp goes, I think it's just a prog that's not deleteing temp files.
