DJ Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 i found a copy of norton anti virus in the house. its from 2005. i dont think it has ever been used and i have the product key etc. i followed the initial installation process but it wont let me connect to the server to activate it. any ideas?

wwwd Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Agreed, if you want to f*ck up your computer and ruin everything, install Norton. Use AVG or Avast - both free and miles better than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCCORNY11 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 everyone has what they believe to be the best! i got norton free with my laptop when bought in USA and to say its detected everything even viruses hidden in rar and zips i would phone them and see if the key it active or if the server has changed. norton is one of the best out there and to be honest free = rubbish (unless cracked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
