norton internet security

[rachel3110]

i've got the 2007 version, unused and am getting a new pc with vista and wondered if it will be compatible, it doesn't mention vista on the box.

The original Norton IS 2007 designed for Microsoft XP was not compatible with Vista, but a free upgrade is available on line... check with Norton (or Symantec)...

A word of caution: Do not install Norton unless you intend to keep it for the life of the computer. Even with Norton's own unistall tool, intalling anyother internet security program is almost impossible after Norton has been installed. Take it from me... personal experience...
Best of luck!

and thanks for the advice, cheers!

The last thing you want on your PC is Norton Security.!! Try McAfee,AVG,Spybot or anything that's NOT Norton. Believe me!!

Vista and Norton - good combination: The world's worst operating system combined with the world's worst security product.

I would forget Norton, and download AVG Anti-virus and Zonealarm firewall for free. They dont need a renew of subscription in a years time and they dont cost �40 to renew, they're completely free, and more trusted than Norton.

I'd say go for them! and anyway, i had the 2007 version when i updated my laptop to vista, and i had to download a update to install it on vista, when it said it was 'vista capable'. No, id forget norton.

thank you all for you're answers and help, I got the computer today and the person that built it has installed norton on it anyway! ha ha!
I had avg and zonealarm on my last computer and had no problems with it.
