I was working over my registry (using win98) manually modifying a few things I didn't like in year 2000. One outcome was that nav live update then updated for next 18 months all OK without any more claims for subscrip renewal. Unfortunately I didn't record what I did to the registry to achieve this. About 4 months ago I was careless and accidentally deleted my NAV, upon reinstalling was told my subscription had expired. I organised it (without paying out anything more) so it tells me that it will expire about mid-June. What happens after then ...? fun to find out!	Guest (0)

Not a uncommon work around for extending the life of Nortons without having to pay for a subscription.	Guest (0)
