I'm 'puter stupid. Can I use Norton Internet Security 2012 in 2014? I'm due to renew in like 8 days. Pros? Cons? Anyone? Thank you in advance.

You should not have any problem, as long as the renewal code on your NIS 2012 is valid. Do an auto renew, and the NIS on your computer should update. You can't use the disk because it is older than what is on your computer. I just used NIS 2013 to renew my subcription. I had no problems. Hope this helps.

I don't know, but this shouldn't be an issue because AVG free edition is vastly superior to both McAfee and Norton and doesn't cost a dime!

Theres also a $20 USD Norton Internet Security 2007 Mail-in Rebate * U.S. Offer # 06-53467 rebate. Just Google it and you will find the PDF.

I'm sorry that I can't provide an answer for you. I have abandoned Norton Ghost. Although Symantec usually has great products like Norton 360 and Norton Security Suite, I can't say the same for Ghost. I have had nothing but trouble with it and have switched my backup program to Acronis 2013. Acronis is also not the easiest to manage, particularly when a recovery becomes necessary. However, I found it to be better that Ghost even though Acronis is seriously deficient in documentation. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can use 2013 versions and will be good for a full 365 days even though you only install it in 2014. In fact, they will offer you to update the 2013 version to the latest 2014 version free of charge at some time in your 365 day period of use. They offered the 2014 version to me just last evening. I tried to update my 2013 version to the 2014 version last night and was not successful. Following their instructions to update was not quite clear, but I will try again. If you can get the latest 2014 version installed, it will be good for the remainder of days you have left to use.

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.)

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.

Because somebody at Amazon didn't get the new box picture to make the page. It doesn't matter what version your box has in it. Once you have the product key for a valid 1 year subscription, you are entitled to the latest version of the product available for download from Norton. If you install it from the CD, even if you have the actual 2012 version, if you open the software, go to Support/New Version Check and it will tell you whether a newer version is now available. If it is, you may download it free from Norton and upgrade your product.

Yes. It does protect against malware, but no security software is 100% full-proof as there are many viruses being released every day. The most important thing is to make sure your Norton, Windows and other programs are up-to-date. I know it is annoying to update them, but it will be even more frustrating if you don't update them, get a virus that disables your computer(has happened to me before) or hacks into your computer and steals your information. So stay on top of it. Don't download links from emails if you are not sure. I have been using Norton for about 12 years without any problem.

No. I have been a user of Norton security products for well over 20 years and Symantec since 1988. I have used Norton personally as well as professionally and have NEVER suffered from downtime due to a virus. Professionally, includes 16 file servers and over 350 clients (PCs.) The 360 Multi-Device will cover 5 individual devices (i.e. PC, smart phone, tablet in any combination. For your home network you have everything you need. Keep in mind that you can always add security to any network but this will do the job alone. Just keep it updated. Hope this helps!

Yes, I just did. Just becareful "renewing" so you don't accidentally purchase the upgrade twice, (once from Amazon and once from Norton's website!).. you should only have to enter the Product Code after hittting the renew button. If it tells you to make a $ purchase on Norton's website, you're on the wrong page!

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

Yes, but 'don't automatically' renew directly through McAfee due to their high pricing. Look for better sale of McAfee offered through Amazon each year.

just free trial for MS office 2010 and 2 months of Norton Internet Security. There is some HP stuff but nothing of any real value.

You don't need to do anything, the 2012 software version is basically the same as the 2013, it only changes the design of the main console, but the protection is the same. Your product will be renewing for 3 years from the date you first installed it. If Trend Micro introduces significant changes in the software, they will let you know and they will give you a free update to the new version for the duration of your original subscription. It happened to me; I had a 2009 software version that I renew year after year just by introducing the activation code (but without installing the new software), and last summer I got a message asking me to upgrade to the 2012 version because significant changes were made in that version. I was given the link, just clicked on it and my software was upgraded automatically. The current subscription length was maintain, no changes.

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.

As to the previous answer, I also use Bitdefender IS 2014 since January on my Win 8.1 without problems, but had very good support for an minor issue regarding MyBitdefender.com account. To your question: You may download Bitdefender IS 2014 from the official website and install it as a trial version first. When you get your package you may use the License-Key, that is placed on the cover of the CD, to activate the Software.
