I have been using Avast, the free version. The price difference between Norton single user 2014 _and 2015 is huge. Do I need 2015 for home?

Mr. Fisher Let the Norton 360 expire, and please do not renew from Norton because you will be paying higher price. Also, Norton 360 allows you to backup data in the server: a service you are paying and perhaps will never use since the space provided is not big enough. I remove 360 and bought Norton Antivirus instead from Amazon and it only cost me $25.00 for 3pcs. To answer your question, why give them your money early? Don't purchase now!

It doesn't matter what year is on any Symantec/Norton product since they give you free updates to the latest version anytime during your subscription period. For example if you have an unused box of Norton 360 from 2009 you can download the newest 2013 version from Symantec's website and use the 2009 activation code to activate it, or if you have the 2012 version installed on your device and the 2013 version is released you can download and install the new version and you will still have the remainder of your 2012 activation days left on the new version. You can go to the Norton Update center to see if you have the latest version of any Norton product and get the latest release. here: http://updatecenter.norton.com/?SSDCAT=210&displang=iso3%3aENG&displocale=iso3%3aUSA&plang=en&env=prod&origin=amsw&version=1.0

This program was recommended to me by an IT person who likes that it isn't a drain on system resources, like Norton. I was using Norton and then switched to Microsoft Security Essentials, which is free. I was told that MSE didn't perform as well as it used to and may have vulnerabilities. Bitdefenders offered very good coverage and could be set to run on auto pilot. I've been using the program for several months and feel it is good. There are features that I haven't explored, and should. I should also mention that online reviews placed Bitdefender as the top program. I hope this was somewhat helpful to you.

No extra software that really is important. Norton antivirus comes with it but it is a limited time free. Everything in the specs for hardware.

Yes, we bought it two months ago after doing a chat with Symantec from their site and asking them if there is a newer version. It is the current version and was a much better price from Amazon than direct from Symantec. I'm not loving this product due to some poor tech support issues, but it mostly works and is current.

Only if you go directly to the McAfee site, I believe. That said, I've tried Norton as well as several other internet security programs. McAfee has always performed well for me, and for the money, cannot be beat.

Go with Windows Live OneCare 2.0, which is offered here, and you can check my review to see the reasons why. Be aware, though, that Microsoft has announced that will discontinue retail sales of Windows Live OneCare subscription service, effective June 30th, 2009. They are working on a move to provide a free anti-virus software application, code-named "Morro" which is designed to offer comprehensive protection from various forms of malicious software, including viruses, spyware, rootkits and trojans, by focusing on a smaller footprint that uses fewer computing resources. Until the day that the software with the code-name of "Morro" becomes available for testing, I'll stick with Windows Live OneCare, not just because of the amazing new low prices, but because it works.

There is a option when is expire that says renew there gives you a option to enter the new product key if it's a new install it will ask you for the new key remember to run live update after entering the new key and if you are not able to use your key access your Norton account website and enter it there hope you are able to make it work if not send me a message

I have a netbook (not this one in particular) but one with like styled specs...I bought the CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2009...that I got from "FeeBAY" for $5.00 including shipping. So far no problems...but I did have to get an external drive so not sure how much of a savings it really was...........since the external drive was $65.00.

Al, It really depends on if you want to customize your settings (Bitdefender) or you just want to install and let it do it's thing (Norton). I have had Norton poducts for the past five years. In the old days they were a little heavy on being resource hogs, but now they are much better. I personally would go with Norton, but I have no complaints against Bitdefender, just depends on if you like customizable options or not.

The migration software comes free even with the bare drive unit. Just go to www.samsung.com/samsungssd for the latest data migration tool, do not use Norton, it is bad.While doing the migration, don't work on the laptop so you wouldn't be fighting with the tool for access to the files.

As far as Norton is concerned, I see no problem. However, I would check with Amazon/Kindle to see if that program is compatible with your device first.

Microsoft Security Essentials works well on netbooks, as do avast! and Avira AntiVir. All are free, or have free versions for personal use.

Mine included Norton, but it was out of date and I had problems the first week. Made the mistake of clicking on the "Games", and ended up with a lot of junk, nothing terribly malicious, but annoying and slowed everything down. Dumped the Norton and installed Kaspersky (which I had had on my old computer) and MalewareBytes.

Ya it's a good choice for a college student just be sure to get a good antivirus dont think that Norton is good enough. But the performance overall is good and is good at running multiple programs at once.
