Since all Norton does is bog down your computer anyway, why not go ahead and uninstall it now?  But first, download Avast Antivirus(which is free) and ZoneAlarm Firewall(which is also free).  I've had them both for over 2 years and have not gotten a virus or had any other problems.  By the way, after you uninstall Norton, you need to run a registry clean-up tool like TuneUp Utilities 2006(There will still be over 100 entries related to NAV after you uninstall).  This is the only one I know of that is fully functional as a trial version.  \n\nhttp://www.download.com/ZoneAlarm/3000-10435_4-10465069.html?tag=lst-0-2\n\nhttp://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html\n\nhttp://www.download.com/TuneUp-Utilities-2006/3000-2086_4-10440422.html?tag=lst-0-1

AVG by grisoft is about the best.. and yes removing your older one is the best policy

I would suggest you write off McAfee, and install AVG personal edition for free. Good luck uninstalling McAfee, it does not like being uninstalled.

Well If you "uninstalled" nortan from add & remove programs you didn't completely remove it from your system in the first place. The way nortan is designed it take over all your computer add protects it from everything even you. This protection is so good that the uninstaller exe doesn't even let Nortan be completely removed from the system. For this reason Symantec created SYMNRT.exe which is an uninstall utility that is free to the public and will completely remove any Nortan product for the system. After you run that you can re-install nortan with your cd and it may fix the problem but personally i'd just sugest you switch to one of the free virus scanning programs like AVG and Avast which are all totally free and avalable at www.filehippo.com

If ur not able to uninstall the norton through add/remove programs..then u can call up norton and install an uninstall manager which can do the  trick.\nNAV 800 927-3991 $29.95 per incident \nNorton Internet Security 877 832-2810 $29.95 per incident \nAnti-Spam 888 681-1964 \n\nregarding cache files....thats the cookies and temp files... Make sure u delete them and check the  privacy setting...it should not be high...otherwise it will reject cookies.

I didn't know that stuff expired.\n\nMaybe it won't be as effective, but I doubt it's dangerous.

DELETE IT AND DON'T OPEN IT ANY FURTHER AND RUN A SCAN ON YOUR COMPUTER

Dude, chill !!\n\nIf you renewed prior to your expiration date then you might be getting those pop-ups because they're computer generated.   In other words, Norton's renewal section didn't pass any info along to the section that  does the pop-up reminders.\n\nIf you're having problems on the telephone, try emailing them or using their live chat via the computer.  If they tell you it's not their pop-ups, then do the scans for virus and spyware.

do not use it uninstall it if you have, it causes problems and put a lot of spy-ware and ad-ware on the computer among other things. \ndo not trust everything that's says free and that is all over the net, there is a reason for that.
