What version are you using?

The one for macs. I shall check out all the free software mentioned in this thread, but knowing my luck none of it will be compatible with a mac. The only really I got norton in the first place is 'cause it was the only virus protection for macs that was on sale in the computer shop!

Looks as if you're stuck with Norton.

Hermia, have you checked your PMs?

If you choose to stick with Norton, don't waste your time renweing, just stick another £10 in and get Norton Systemworks and Personal Firewall 2006 for £30 at PC World

It may be cheaper buying a new version .......I bought him the full new version (OEM) for about £5 from scan.

Whats OEM stand for?

Original Equipment Manufacturer. Basically it's a version that doesn't come with a box, just a cd and is supposed to be bought with hardware. Definition of hardware can be very vague. Essentially you're saving a lot of money because it doesn't come in a shiny retail cardboard box. When I bought Windows XP Pro years ago it was the OEM version and only cost me £108 compared to the retail price of £290 or something like that and I just bought a (pretty cool lighted) case cooling fan for £5 with it and that was the necessary "hardware" purchase. Quite frankly I think I can overcome my sentimental attachment to cardboard for that kind of saving.
