Norton needs Renewing

magick · 9 Jul 2011 at 22:35

My mums pc has Norton IS 2011 and it only has 10 days remaining. Should she renew £25 for 1 year (3 PCs) or is there any better offers, programs out there?

NOD32 (either AV or Smart Security if your Mum needs a software firewall) or Kaspersky are the two popular pay for AV suites. Avast or MSE are pretty popular in the free category.

Kapersky is £15 more though I have heard its better. Basicaly she just wants her pc to be secure for online banking. My main concern is that she'll get another 1 years supercription for NIS2011 then NIS2012 comes out in 4 months or something.

you can get kis 2011 3 users for £15 i did from ocuk

its gone up now to £23.99 plus postage and hassle of waiting for delivery. Then I'll have to come down and install it for her and unistall Norton which use to problematic to unistall. Hence why i'm thinking it might be better for her to stick with Norton?

I missed this earlier. Norton subscribers can always update to the latest version for free during their subscription period, so that shouldn't be a problem at all. The subscription isn't tied down to any particular version.

Cool.

For all those saying it's bloatware I suggest you use a new version of Norton. I was suprised at first how invisible it is. My mums expertise when it comes to PCs is opening Firefox and sending emails via Outlook so she needs a AV/Firewall that is simple and doesn't confuse her.
