Norton internet security upgrade or new version?

Options
I run norton internet security 2004 at the moment and my subscription runs out soon. I bought what I thought was a complete 2005 package, but when it arrived on the box it says it is an upgrade.

Please can someone tell me what the difference is between a complete package and an upgrade. Is it not a complete version?

Also I have heard of people who have had probs with installing upgrades and my computer knowledge is nil, so need an easy option.

    you should be fine with what you have - upgrading 2004 to 2005. Its only when you run into problems with Norton that you have problems!!

    Am I correct in assuming this isn't a complete version and also normally I delete my original version and then install my new package, what do I do now. Also do I get the live updates.

    Sorry its all questions from me!!!! I don't know much

    Hi,

    I have upgraded Norton in the past, and yes it is very successful. I seem to recall that it handles the upgrade without any need to un-install the previous version, and stops all the necessary services itself, and so on.

    Yes, you get a full year of autoupdates too.

    Should be painless, and you have saved yourself a bob or two over a non-uprade version.

    Hope that helps,

    Regards,

    White.
