Help Pls: Norton AV 2006 / 05 - Best Price????

Huggins

Hi All,

Need to replace my anitvirus software which has just expired. I paid £25 last year and it's shot up to to £40 this year on the website.

So can I get the antivirus software cheaper elsewhere? doesn't necs. have to be 2006 unless you think i would defintly need the latest version? I would like to stick with Norton as it works well.

P.S i'm not interested in the freeware as i had loads of problems with my computer when i tried to install this stuff last time.

Many thx in advance

What freeware anti-virus were you installing? To be honest, I've heard more problems with people installing Norton products

Available here for around £30 inc vat

If you go to software and choose eymantec they have Internet Security 2005 OEM for around £20

Technically you shouldn't really use OEM software without buying a qualifying hardware product - but it shouldn't be a problem

I'm using the windows OneCare beta at the moment - seems to work quite well updates every day, not too intrusive on the system - doesn't seem to use anywhere near the same amount of resources as norton.

PC World have Norton Internet sucurity 2006 for £24.99 and it's also that price in Game.

This includes full Noton Antivirus, Firewall and Antispam. The one in PC world also includes a copy of Go Back 4.

Nortons a Pile of crap!

Get Zone Alarm Security Suite!

Norton gives so much trouble when it comes to networking, and is missing a lot of features that Zone Alarm has (IM Encryption, AntiSpyware, etc...)
