Am I going wrong somewhere? I have had Norton Internet Security for years, this year my automatic subscription they tell me is £51. Whats the point when it is being sold on the net by all sorts of people for half that? If I buy from an independent or auction site is there a catch and can I remove or write over my present installed copy with the new one? Thanks for advice.

Can you not just delete the old keycode and add the new one.You can with my security programs.That would save you from having to uninstall it.

Thats interesting but how would it affect my present account with Norton especially as it would be the same email address. Doesnt look easy to remove a Norton account (ie the associated account not the program itself)

With Emisoft and Eset you just buy where you can find the cheapest one and remove the old keycode and add the new keycode and they acknowledge the new kecode for another year.

Now Norton may be different I don't know so maybe better waiting for advice from someone who uses it.

Use the Norton uninstall software to remove current version and then buy a new version at half the price ! Do not choose automatic renewal !
