Don't know for certain, but Noron would be my last choice for security. Get AVG, Avast, or any of a dozen others that are far superior to Norton and McAfee.

No idea. I would call the HP Support Line. (Also: ... Win 8 comes will all the Anti-Virus program you need: DEFENDER. Meaning: I deleted the annoying Norton package all together and so far it looks like DEFENDER is doing in the back-ground all the work.)

That just means all 3 installs must be tied to the same Norton Account. Any 3 computers, as long as they're not running Windows 8.1.

to the best of my knowledge , they will sell it to you on line direct and allow you a download into your PC . I highly suggest not doing so , buy the disc , it allows you 3 uses, also when its time to renew it is less expensive to just buy a new one each year , if you renew on line you pay more and its a one time shot. this way it allows you to install it on 3 computers or if you had to re-install yours for any kind of reason you have it in your hands . save the packaging it has the activation code you'll need for each install. it has been working well , also i suggest not to allow the Norton Tool Bar to be activated , it stops you from going to certain web sites , it didn't let me log into my bank or get my e-mail until i disabled the norton toolbar , then everything worked fine. Its a great deal especially if you own more than one computer.

I did not remove any anti virus. I have periodically used the stick to clean up any stray new attacks. I also added a malware program to protect my back. So I have three defense programs active.

It did not come with any 3rd party antivirus programs. I however use Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows 7 (free with valid Windows copy).

This unit doesn't require any additional virus protection software. The protection is built-in the OS with automatic updates.

No it should do what is necessary as in actuality its on upgrade. Only if you are using a completely different product, say AVG and now using Norton, then you would have to uninstall the AVG.

Yeah before doing so you should install a anti-virus system probably Webroot is the best. The only reason you should install a anti-virus is so you won't end up having a virus like I did.

Yes, part of the package is automatic updates to the system. All virus software MUST update frequently, or the latest problems will not be addressed.

I have the temporary norton security, but once the trial runs out you need to purchase a new one.

I have found it unnecessary to install an anti-virus program if I am running Windows through Parallels. I do all of my web surfing through Safari on my Mac and therefore bypass the vulnerabilities of IE in Windows.

Kaspersky Internet Security is the Anti-Virus with other extras added in. If you you run more than one Anti Virus software (such as Windows Anti Virus) you PC/Mac will run slower. My suggestion is that you just run the Kaspersky Internet Security and that should be fine. I my suggestions help you in some way.

A lot of pop ups, malware and I think free security software for a period. We didn't use it because we use Norton. Be prepared to spend a few hours to clean it up before you can use it, unless they have changed since the first part of this year when we ordered it. I think (not sure) it also came with a wired keyboard and mouse (also didn't use), no monitor and no extra software. Power cable, but no other cables (like for a monitor, printer) Has wireless connectivity for Internet, printer etc.
