DD. I installed Norton Internet Security last month from disc bought at PC World but I think I would have been better installing as a renewal direct as had problems getting it working. Had to keep running Live Update as the disc obviously isn't as up to date as the website. I tried a version of MBs advice but wasn't clever enough!!

If you do install Norton, DD and have Security Pack 2 Windows already installed, make sure you turn off the Windows Firewall before you begin!

Very clever MM. I bought Norton 2005 at PC world for 25 after I could not update my 2003 version. If only I had known..

when you adjust the clock back it has to be before it expired if you get what i mean ie if it expires on say 30 dec 2000 set your clock to the 29 dec 2000 it always works :-)When you install norton it always asks when you want it to start from and that is when your years ugrades start from !!!!

It is really clever MB - I had been told to uninstall and reinstall package just before expiry date but that didn't seem to work as some of files didn't completely uninstall, whereas your system is so much quicker :-)

Mb,thanks for that advice,would you say it is best to wait until it has expired before i do the clock,or a couple of days before.

Dazzler,
When your license is approaching expiry, there will be a window which appears habitually (at start up from memory) telling you that you need to renew your subscription and inviting you to renew on-line. You will need to play about with the options to stop this window from re-appearing. You will also need to disable the automatic live update facility.
After that, whenever you want to update your program (once a fortnight or once a month), you just reset your PC clock beforehand and then go into Norton and do the live update.

dd,it makes no odds i dont think,it is all down to when you install it and the date you enter when to start and that is the only thing it recognises,after all you are only fooling it to think it is a current up to date copy :-)))i have the same copy installed on 5 machines and it works on all of them(rumour has it)for the last 4 years.
please note i am not telling you to do this as this is not right is it :-)))but you have nothing to loose in trying it have you !!!
MB a law abiding citizen :-)))

Does anyone know if USB hubs work OK. I have 3 USB slots on my laptop but could do with 1/2 more. Do USB hubs work OK and can you recommend a make.
