I had just renewed my Nortons on my LapTop..My Nortons antivirus for my desktop is due to be renewed in 30 days..My question is Do I have to purchase a seperate suscribtion for the desktop? Or can I use my laptop suscribtion..If I can use my Laptops Please tell me how to do it...Thanks so much..........If you own both , you should not have to pay again, no.

([highlight]maybe I jumped the gun last night[/highlight]) * I have ANOTHER full PACKAGE product that does like 15 things. I have it on another PC i own + put it on my sons. I had no problems. Norton could be different.....

I had it on my puter at work before I knew of hope.com and for the life of me could not get it off . I HAT_ (strongly dislike norton & MCAFEE).
Though I thought I just read Norton got voted 1# anti-virus of the year award somewhere I also use AVG as a backup. CCleaner is great too!I disagree. I BELIEVE you'll need to pay the separate renewal fee for your desktop. The reason is simple. Your software license for each installation of Norton is for one computer, right? In other words, if you were going out to buy Norton for two computers, you would have to buy two editions of it, one for each computer. Likewise, separate renewal fees apply to each.If you are ready for an alternative :

DLoad the tool below...

Norton Removal Tool


1) Use Add Remove Programs first and un-install Norton...
2) From Windows Explorer search for any folders named Norton and Symantec and delete them...
3) DLoad and install ERUNT and have it make a backup of your registry...
4) Open regedit and type Norton in the search bar. Delete all entries it finds. F3 takes you to the next instance of Norton. Continue til you have reached the end of the registry...
5) Repeat the above process using Symantec instead in the search field. Delete any Symantec keys it finds...
6) Now run the Norton Removal tool you DLoaded...
7) Empty the recycle bin...
Go to My Computer and right clik the C: drive and select Properties and run disk CLEANUP...
9) Re-boot and run disk defrag....

There you're done !

See how easy Symantec makes it for you to dump their product ? ?

patio. 8-)

I would suggest either AVG or AVAST...both excellent...both free.I agree with patio. Norton has gone downhill for some time and I've seen it make more problems than work right. If you are happy with it then renew, but I'd seriously give consideration to AVG, which I've used for several years without a hitch, or !Avast. Both good and both free. Might also consider Antivir.

Alan <>< Yep, I agree with patio and ale52 on the idea and dumping Norton and going with AVG or Avast. With your subscription soon expiring, now is the time to do it.And being free either of the 2 alternatives suggested can be installed on every machine you have...If you already purchased your norton subscription, and dont want to take the alternative of a better free scanner:

You can use the subscription for both computers. You just need to manually enter the code.

I dont remember how you do this anymore, so just try looking through some of the options to see if you can find it^ thats what I did, just entered the codes/ passwords off the cd case on each puter, I had no problems with them accepting at that time. We'll see what happens when I have to renew in June.
