I've got Norton anti-virus installed on my laptop and it's due to expire in about a fortnight. I've decided to go the whole hog and instal the Norton security suite 2006 when the other is out-of -date. Someone at work told me it can be a bit of a pig to instal. Can anyone give me a guide or walk-through instructions to instal it myself? Failing that, can somebody point me in the direction of a useful website? Thanks.

disconnect your internet connection, you to add/remove programmes - unistall your norton that expires in 2 weeks, disable your firewall, get out the installer disc for your nortion, it should slef run/load and you jsut have to click the few on screen prompts/type in your name to register it to you - dead easy, once installed, re-connect your firewall, then connect to the internet, you can get the free online updates - this will happen automatically, it weill ask you before doing it - dead easy.

Don't do that. I used that Noront secruity suite once and that was the worst thing. It is a BIG time resource hog, it will make your computer lag and cause it to be 100 CPU. I would forget norton, uninstal the trail, make sure to use the removal tool off the web site and then install AVG free. You will not regret it. And yes AVG does work. I haved tested it out with online scanners. My computer is clean and runs great.

If you have confidence in Norton Antivirus, then get the plain version. The suite makes your computer run very slowly. I have UNINSTALLED it from several of my clients computers, because they were disatisfied with the slow speed.

Norton came free with my comp. but even a freebie isn't a turn on 4 me.. i had Norton and Mcafee in the past and both let hackers in.. i trust AVG and spybot.. AVG. will protect your computer like a mean dog : ) once i deleted Norton, my comp ran smooth..

go to norton's webpage or look for the customer support #, they will gladly help you, and Uninstal the existing one, instal the new one and configure it... It's not so complex, but anyway, ask the Norton people for help, they are the pro's on that section.

I wouldn't bother with it at all. If you must use an all-in-one suite, I reccomend Kaspersky Internet Security, http://www.kasperskyusa.com/ - please go with them, Norton is one of the most ineffective security applications you can use. Please do not use Norton, it's also a system hog.

My friend I am sorry you have wasted your money. You may not want to hear this but if at all possible return it and download AVG, Avast, or NOD32.
