Why are you buying Norton's, doesn't the your broadband supplier provide the a service for free?

You should check with the vendor, but I believe Norton is usually licensed for up to five computers.
And I agree with the other users who are suggesting AVG. Try it. It's an easy download and seems to work at least as well as Norton.

From an ex-Norton user, why not try free security programs. They're so much better and don't slow down your computer which Norton does as its a resource hog.
For good, free and recommended security programs, please go here

I recommend AVG as an anti virus, although eTrust's 12 month free trial is excellent (I'm using it and am extremely impressed).
If you need other programs, go for Zone Alarm firewall, AVG anti spyware (formerly Ewido) and SpywareBlaster.
If you click on the names in that list I gave you and it will take you to the official download site.
Please ensure that you keep them all updated for full protection and check for any updates when you first download them.

Get a Norton Multi-user licence from Symantic.

I agree wit the one that asked about your broadband supplier, they usually have one for that is included in with your subscription, you can download, and it is better that those free services others have mentioned , my neighbor used the AVG free junk,and the ZoneAlarm firewall etc, he removed the programs,and the remaining traces ,his computer has not been the same..it is screwed up.

Don't buy a single set, its a processor eater. Use the free AVG instead. Its light, updates almost daily, and is just as effective.
