Yes you need a seperate licence for each computer. Norton do a fmaily pack for about £85 for 3 licences! Don't use different firewalls on different computers on a network they will conflict and different antiviruses may too. I use Windows firewall on my laptop - which is more or less useless and f-secure on my desktop which is brill. I have f-secure anti-virus on both. I scammed the one for my laptop. but they are the same - 3 licences or buy them one at a time. If you don't go on any dodgy sites use a freebie like AVG.

Above answers are right. AVG is great. Norton uses a ton of resources.
I did hear that you could install it on up-to 5 PC's, a little known fact. Still if you want to kill more than 1 machine Norton's the 1!!!
AVG is available from:

I agree that AVG is the one to use at the moment. I have Norton on another machine and its nothing but trouble half the time and hogs a lot of resources on the machine.

If you already have it then you can use it on your laptop as well. DO NOT use AVG antivirus, although its free it doesn't provide the same amount of security as norton or many other antiviruses.

I think it is best to check with Nortons on this one.. It might be that if you are using the same email address and the same isp that it might be okay.... But it is better to be safe than sorry...... SO CHECK WITH NORTONS...... :)
