Does Norton anitvirus on line software mean the same as Norton Internet security?

Question

i keep getting this notice that i have 8 more days to renew my product i guess it's because it came with the computer i just got but i have netzero which gave me norton anitvirus online cd and also i have just plain norton antivirus will putting both of these on keep me safe?

Answer 1

Norton Internet Security is a series of programs that includes Norton Antivirus. The other programs are something like spam guard, cookies erasers or backup files. If you buy the update it'll renew the antivirus for a year or so.

If you want a good product check out Norton System Works. It has all you need and works really well. AVOID Norton 360. I got that thinking it was a updated NSW but it isn't. Norton 360 is great for people that are brand new to the internet, it'll stop them from downloading every virus but for those of us that have been online for a while, it's an annoying program, kind of like when you first start up a new computer with Windows Vista

Answer 2

Norton anti-virus   and  Norton security   are 2 different items..sorry the first guy who gave U answer was wrong...if U R going to download a real good Norton..I would recommend Norton360..new and the best..in the mean time go to windows defender and download that till ya get your new security systems...u can get anitvirus systems for free on windows...like windows defender..good luck if ya have more problems let me know will try to help ...

Answer 3

No, they aren't the same.

But, if you have only 8 days left, don't renew your license. Norton Antivirus is one of the worst and most expensive commercial antivirus programs; most free antiviruses are better than it!

I recommend you to buy Kaspersky Antivirus. Not only is it the best antivirus protection on the market, but it is cheaper than Norton and you can buy it at Future Shop or Best Buy.

Check the antivirus comparison tests at http://www.virus.gr/portal/en/content/20...

You'll see that I'm right.

P.S.: Some people might say: "Norton is the best product because I haven't got a single virus in years." Well, they're wrong. If Norton isn't warning you that your computer is infected, that's not because your computer is virus-free. It may just mean that it's infected by a virus that Norton can't detect, because it's a bad antivirus.

Answer 4

There both the same.
