Can I upgrade just the antivirus portion of the Norton suite when the subscription expires?

Answer 1

probably not.. if even if you could

you still need a firewall... you could just use free ones instead..

since av companies started wanting yearly subs.. they lost my business..

zone alarm free

Answer 2

Nops u cannot... Tis a trial version which comes bundled with the new computer. To upgrade and use the Antivirus effectively, you'd have to purchase a new Norton Antivirus or renew the subscription.

Answer 3

I don't think you can, but why use Norton? It has never worked very well and tends to use way to may resources. give one of the free anti viruses a try. I have used AVG for many years and have never had a malware problem that it couldn't handle.

Here is a small list of free software that works just as well or maybe even a little better then the pay for stuff.

ANTI-VIRUS
