i have a copy of panda 2005 internet security(oem)which came with my system but i havent installed it yet,so is it still ok to install it,and will i still get the 12 month free services(updates)that came with it
also,when i register,will the updates start from then?
i only asked this question as the disc will be a year old now,but unopened,so i should be able to use it in theory

One of two things will happen.
1. It will go ahead and update to the latest version and give you the free trial.
2. I will tell you the offer is no longer valid and you need to pay for the newest version.
You don't need to purchase or use a free trial to be protected. There are many free AV/AS programs that are as good and many times better than the pay versions. Tak a look at this setup.
Here is a package that protects me and my neighbor. I haven't been infected in 5 months, and since I put it on his computer, he hasn't been infected in 3 months. He likes to download porn and it still protects him. Best of all everything is Free and work as good and better than pay packages.
Download the latest Java Update 7. Then remove any older versions from your computer.

Go here and download the following programs: All will be in the first 3 red boxes.

Firewall. - If you have XP with SP2 then use the existing Windows firewall. It is excellent. If not then download Zone Alarm free version.
Anti-Virus program - If you have one then use it or replace it with one of these: AVG 7.1 or AVAST. Only one, not both.
Anti-Spy programs: Use more than one. None can catch all the garbage out there: Windows Defender Beta 2, Spybot Search and Destroy, AdAware SE Personal.
This program will work with the AV and AS programs and add an additional layer of protection and it really works great.

This program will alert you to bad sites:

These are my recommendation based on what protects me and my neighbor
