Norton Security With BT Interent Question

A friend has BT Total Broadband Option 2. This includes Norton Antivirus, however she's not clear how to access the facility. Does it come on a CD, or is it downloaded?

Comments

  • most likely on CD but....:

    AVOID

    IMHO

    dont really need it - thrown in as a freebie becuase of all the 'risks' that are on the net.

    Get AVG Free, Zonealarm [ditch windows firewall if its on] and AdAware Personal SE

    Thats it!

    Nortons horrid - dreadful software imo :)
  • Yes, I know, but she's paid for it already and wants to use it.

    I've got to disagree - I've been using Norton products for a few years and am quite happy. But please be clear to your friend that Norton Anti-viurs needs to be complemented by firewall and anti-malware software too.
