I format ed my computer and i installed Norton Anti Virus 2006 to activate the product key that is invalid?

Answer 1

If its used once before, it wont work again. use something else, Norton 2006 is pants anyway.

Answer 2

Avast is a good anti-virus

http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-...  [Free home edition]

Avira is also a good anti-virus

Windows Defender is recommended in addition for real-time spy-ware protection.

Remember to only have one anti-virus installed on your PC

Answer 3

Norton is rubbish and I advise that you remove it and install the following. You will need the Norton Removal Tool to get rid of Norton completely. http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsg...

I always recommend the following be stored on computers and install them myself on any I repair.

Avast Home Edition http://avast.com

Run a full scan once a month. I find this the best free anti-virus software

SUPERantispyware http://superantispyware.com

Update and run a full scan once a week.

Spybot Search and Destroy http://safer-networking.org

Update, Immunize and scan once a week.

ccleaner http://ccleaner.com

Run the Cleaner scan and remove all it finds

Run the Registry scan and fix all issues but repeat this until nothing is detected.

Run this daily.

Comodo Firewall http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

Some people just prefer the Windows one but this is better.

Check that you don't need to defragment monthly and also run a Disk Cleanup monthly too.

Feel free to email me if I can be of further help  

Answer 4

let me get this right... you installed nortons 2006 and punched in your product key and it came up an invalid key?

if thats the case then here in Australia when you buy Nortons you can install it with the same product key 3 (three) times and then anything after 3 it says invalid.

May want to check that first as a start?

Sorry best i can think of...

Good luck cheers
