The best way would be to contact Symantec and let them know what happened. They should have no problem giving you your key. I'm not a fan of Norton, as it doesn't do what it's supposed to do. There are several good free antivirus programs out there, that do a much better job. AVG and Avast come to mind. If your subscription is going to run out soon, I would say forget about it, and install one of the free ones I mentioned. If your subscription is just beginning, I would contact Symantec for the key.

Since I felt I couldn't be without av software, I downloaded AVG which I had on an earlier computer. My subscription expires in Feb with Nortan.

Are you saying I would be better off keeping AVG?

Much better off. I have never seen a more resource hungry, controlling,bloated anti-virus program like Norton.

 

Yeah, AVG costs less and has fewer problems than Norton.

 

Hello Bill, Welcome to TSF! :4-wave:

To ensure that all the remnants of your Norton™ 2005 are removed from your computer, you will need to download and use their 'removal tool'.

Download the Norton™ Removal Tool , and run it on the computer. (Click the coloured Link).

I also agree with the advice that gistek has given you regarding AVG™; I have been using their Internet Security Suite for over 5 years now and cannot fault it.
AVG™ is not resource hungry like Norton™ either.

Kind Regards,

 

Well, yea, and in my opinion, McAfee is just as bad.
