    :mad: I have Norton Internet security 2005, when I got renewal notice went to the web site as I have been doing for pat 12 years and when I click on "Just renew" what I get sent to is "your shopping cart is empty - click button below to continue" what that brings me to is a page to purchase new versions at 49 bucks. the kicker was when I tried to call the tel# next to website on my Norton app. renewal info that number is indicated as DISCONNECTED. this is not cool -- Norton are you trying to loose customers? what gives . BTW The new 2007 version that Symantec is selling for 49.95 plus 10 for shipping is selling at varios places on price grabber for 22.00 with zero shipping.

    You couldn't pay me to put it on my computer. The sooner you rid yourself of this bloated monster, the better your computer will run.

    AHAHAHA!!!! It's true though muruga, there are plenty of good FREE virus protection applications out there. And if you do want to pay (for a reason beyond me) buy a good application like AVG... Unless you are talking about for an enterprise. My company uses Symantec AntiVirus also (the corporate version obviously), and I dislike it very strongly. The only nice thing about it is the management console. Anyways, just though I'd throw that out there.

    Well to each their own, but instead of arguing about it, how about look at a nice comparitive done AV comparatives.

    http://www.av-comparatives.org/

    They have a lot of good info on AV. One that I really want to try is Kasperky... buy anyways, good luck.
