I thought Norton was the best for me. I did have a
problem and thought about its validity as a possible
reson. I used a 2005 version and got going.  I did not
have the software utility updated ...... extended non-
usuage of the computer...for about six weeks.When I
went back to normal working I could not get back to
"update operations" although I thought I still enjoyed
validity...till end Dec.2005. I cant get the update
connected and doing what it is supposed to do.... the
Symatec server gets disconnected ....although I am
connected to the internet.

I can,t explain this and I gave up...will try my luck
with the new 2006 version in January 2006.

Will await response from users in the meantime.
