I posted them a cheque at the end of the first week of May for the 2006 CD, and I am still waiting! I have phoned twice and both times they told me "It is on back order and should be out soon. Please be patient". :groan: For info I waited 4 weeks and the 2006 CD was delivered. Last Dec the exchange rate was US$0.71, currently it is about US$0.61. If your sub has run out suggest check Symantec for instructions on how to keep your definitions up to date until they deliver.Wonder if the local Symantec wait until they can make up a batch of orders.

According to this page (us.mcafee.com) you have to re-subscribe to receive more virus definitions. I got that page by following a "renew my subscription" link.	FoxyMX (5)

I got that page by following a "renew my subscription" link. Thanks Foxy, don't know why I could not find. However one thing I note, including PC World's comparisons, is that the current price of the program is mentioned but not the cost of renewal. Now this can make a big difference. I have set myself a goal to make some comparisons along this line, not only for myself but for others too, and post it. One thing that BitDefender has I have found is the cost for one, two and three years set out in a table. Not only that, but in the table is also the cost for one, two, three etc computers all set out in the same grid. However there are even downfalls in that approach. Watch this space !

So a computer built around 2002 with NAV2002 will suffer big time if you update to the latest version. Suggest you either update and run NAV2002 or change to a better anti-virus product. AVG or Avast are free, NOD32 is $70 then $40 each year after that.	Rob99 (151)

Hopefully you have seen my post -- pressf1.pcworld.co.nz In all cases there seems to be some lesser amount to pay. So, in the instance we are talking about here, McAfee give the second year NZ$15 cheaper. That seems a bit hard when comparing on a proportionate basis with others it my comparison, particularly Nod32, BitDefender and Kapersky !! Misty :rolleyes:	Misty (368)

My NAV 2002 was originally purchased from this US site, is it cheaper to renew a subscription if I purchase a NAV copy from an NZ store. I personally use AVG free. It has been suggested on this forum that nod32 is the way to go and Superior to NAV.	Cicero (40)
