well mine came free courtesy PCWorld magazine "prize-line" and even if I had to pay full price I would prefer to do that in preference to AVG (which although is probably very good, its not the same peace of mind as using a product you pay for - even though my NAV was free)

189734 2003-11-07 19:59:00 Greg: My sentiments as well - I am also quite happy with AVG, it has picked up far more viruses and trojans than Norton ever did. But then, the sprogs weren't using the internet when I was using Nortons....... :p :D

:^O Jeez Metla, you are fast replacing Beetle in the entertainment stakes!! :p :D


> Another way is to sign up with an ISP that scans all mail. My Nortons has not found a virus since Ihig removes them all first.

Umm.... but that does not protect you when you download programs off the internet.


> heh?...who cares what 'cracker's are upto,the discussion isn't about illigal software.

Exactly. This forum once lost a rather helpful member because of a discussion like this and the gnomes do not condone such posts either.

189735 2003-11-07 23:59:00 Have just renewed Norton's again at NZD 35.91.
We wanted to put Norton's on the new computer that the other half is building but weren't sure if you had to buy another copy of it or not. I did download AVG & I noticed that it is a different number (65 something or other)than the one I had previously (64 something).
Can anyone tell me if we can use Norton's on both?
Thanks
Pauline.

I use AVG, and I promise you my peace of mind isn't in the least compromised :D

189738 2003-11-08 00:14:00 Yes, if you check your EULA for the product it clearly states that you may use one copy of the software on a single computer (unless you have purchased a License Module).

Put NAV on your main PC and use AVG on the other. :)

189739 2003-11-08 03:43:00 What is the registry editor?
Is it a program that comes with Windows (I have W98SE).
How do you navigate down the registry to get all the Nortons stuff out.
Thanks

Been in the forum's FAQ section yet, Ted? Try the link top right of this page and have a lookie at the one on the Registry. Give it some time to load though as it takes a wee while.

189742 2003-11-08 09:00:00 Thanks for your input Susan, but there is nothing in the faqs about how to navigate into the registry to remove norton stuff from the registry.
