Norton extortion

I have spent four hours of my life and 80$ on Malware Bytes trying to download Digital Editions so I can access a manual I need for work. Everytime I try to download it, I get a popup from NOrton that tries to extort money after a free 30 day trial and it leave me no option but to accept. Totally pissed off. The only solution I can find is complicated ie rewriting code which is beyond me. Any way to actually talk to a person from Adobe or am I destined to gurge through an infinite of "Get Help", "Cant' get help?" Contact Get Help. Ahhhhh!
