urgent question about how Personal Norton Firewall looks?

Question

My comuter had a red icon warning me to download antivirus; it had a list so I chosed Symantec and found it said 90 days free trial.
It is a small circle in black with small quares and yellow all around; it does not look like the original logo on Symantec which is yellow with black. Is that how it should look like.

I went to google and wrote Norton and there they offer trialware the same one; Symantec but strangely it it only for 15 days trial so....

Now the red icon dissapeared....should I trust it or should I remove the program.

How to know it is the real thing?

thanks

Answer 1

Nothing to worry about that since you have downloaded the symantec product through a link which is given by microsoft's site. Since microsoft is acting like a sponsor of symantec's product in this case, so there is no point in trialware days. Dont worry whether its 90 day trial or a 15 day trial.

For checking whether the symantec product is working fine on your system, double click on norton personal firewall icon on the system, norton personal firewall window will be opened, and there see whether its active or not. If its active then nothing to worry about it. If its not active then you need to check the settings.

Please note that the symantec product will stop working after elapsing of the trialware period, then the personal firewall icon will show a cross or some other behaviour.
