I wonderered if that was poss. then like a doctor you can get a second opinion, (virus scans). Mind only run one at a time. Thanks. :) |

Excuse me, but where did you hear this? i manually downloaded defs from symantec for over 12months, and this never happened. You are free to manually download for eternity (you know what I mean). How would they police this anyway? IP address changes dynamically, and once downloaded, they have no idea where it is installed to. Sorry, but surely you made this up! G P |

| 57329 | 2002-06-26 10:18:00 | It happened to me. When my sub expired and I tried to download updates manually from the USA site, I was locked out. John |

| 57330 | 2002-06-26 10:35:00 | Really! How did they know your sub had died? Maybe it is a new feature which talks to Nortons when you are online. This could be halted with a firewall. I recently did a reinstall, and so have live update, but before that, my sub had been long gone, and I nver had probs. G P |

| 57331 | 2002-06-26 10:45:00 | By the sound of it I suspect that Nortons have built in some kind of limiting feature to the newer versions of NAV. They do harp on about subscriptions a bit on their website but I haven't read any more than a snippet of it. My NAV is circa 1998 and up until my first reformat last December I could do a live virus definition update whenever I chose to. After the format something went ping and now I can only do manual updates. Doesn't bother me as long as I can get them for free. :D |

| 57332 | 2002-06-26 11:22:00 | They have built in subscription expiry for some retail products in the CD. When you buy the product, it may even have less than a year to run. You can see this if you buy the OEM versions at flea markets for $2. They will run for about three months and expire. | Marty2001 (421) | ||

| 57334 | 2002-06-26 12:56:00 | didn't know if this is still a current topic or you have already solved the problem. Further to my post about norton sub being $5 US-- I got it wrong. I just went through the sub system for norton and the price is $10 US and you can pay by Credit card ( didn't complete it as my sub is still current from my last renewal ) Cheers Colin |
