    Sorry if this is a stupid question,
    why uninstall if you are going to buy the same thing, although at a cheaper price?

    I've been a mac user until last year, so now my Norton is running out I'm at a bit of a loss.

    I also believe Norton is shockingly resource heavy. I've used AVR in the past and that is great.

    It used to be but the last couple of years has greatly improved.

    I wouldn't buy it at full or even half price but when you can get it for around £10-£12 it's worth trying.
  • Or take out a free 30 day trial and if you're happy buy a licence for 4 quid a year from here. Perfectly legit site :)

    I down loaded McAfee yesterday, free. Am I safe with that?

    Hi, for future reference, a couple of times a year there are some norton codes around that sometimes mean you can buy norton for as little as £9.99. You may not need it at that time but at the price it's worth purchasing and using it when needed.

    Just make sure you enter your correct email and a password and you can then go into your norton account ,download it and enter the key. It even shows how many downloads you have left out of the three purchased.

    As an example, last year I purchased it for £9.99 in October and have just activated it a couple of months ago meanwhile I have since purchased it again at £12 which will be activated sometime next year.

    I have just tried NORTON60VK and it still knocks the price down to £12.

    One thing to point out....once purchased go into the norton account and cancel the automatic renewal !!

    Keith, may I ask where these codes can be found?

    Hi, these only seem to appear occasionally and I think the last couple have appeared on MSE.

    The NORTON60VK has been around for many months and is still working on Norton's website but Norton 360 is now only discounted online by 40% so using the above code now reduces the cost to £14.40p although if you buy through Quidco you can also get 30% cashback.

    Personally I wouldn't wait until I need to buy Norton and then start looking for codes. I would purchase it in advance while I have a code and download it or use the new product key when my current product expires even if thats 11 or 12 months in the future.

    At present I have Norton360 and Norton Mobile purchased ready for activation in May and June next year.

    I again point out that you do need to go into your Norton account and cancel the auto-renewal feature after purchasing.

  • I was lucky enough to get the 50% deal and use the code on Wednesday, will download this December. Auto renewal cancelled. I'll have to keep a regular look out for code/s & discounts for next year's sub. Many thanks!
