LEEnoble Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I friend was doing a clear out and he found an un-opened copy of Norton Antivirus 2002 which he had never got round to using. Just wondering if this old version is still support? e.g updatable. CCleaner fan since 2005 picshack.co.uk - free image hosting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Should be. All DAT files get updated in older versions unless they say there's a cutoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjLizard Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 100% still useable (and probably more stable than 2005), and Norton products prior to 2004 "suffer" from a "bug": 1) Install Norton 2) Use it for 365 days 3) Uninstall Norton 3) Delete Catalog.livesubscribe (or whatnot) 4) Install Norton 5) Poof, a new catalog.livesubscribe appears Click here if CCleaner Issues are re-appearing DjLizard.net DjLizard.net wiki Dial-a-fix Dial-a-fix tips DjLizard.net software support forum Do you live in Bradenton, Sarasota, Tampa, or St. Petersburg, Florida?

Moderators rridgely Posted May 24, 2005 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2005 Will his copy of norton stay up to date (I know it will have updates but will it have all of the definintions of the 2005 version)? Also DJ are you saying if I have a copy of norton that is from before 2004 I can just reinstall it to renew my subscription? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEEnoble Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 you can install it on any day and at any time... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I mean if I install it now, use it for 365 days then when it expires, I could uninstall (and remove all traces) and reinstall and have another 365 days of updates?

Eldmannen Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Well, his license is probably expired I guess, but if he never used it, then maybe its not expired yet. However, Norton AntiVirus really slows down the system and eats tons of CPU power and memory. Personally, I use AntiVir on 3 of 4 computers at home, it's very simple, it doesnt contain any huge bloated interface with skins and crap. It's just a plain simple good AntiVirus software. It also free (as in beer). http://www.free-av.com/ It exists for Windows, Linux, Open/Free BSD and Solaris. It's only 6,3 megabyte and it works great.
