Hello Yaso_Kuuhl,

 

Thankyou very much for your quick reply. I did as you suggested and went to install NIS2010 from your link. Unfortunately, I received the following message "The current product must be updated before this upgrade is installed. Please run liveupdate, reboot if necessary, and relaunch this install". I can not run the liveupdate because I can't open my Norton software (because of the clean install i did with Vista). Any help with this would be really, really appreciated. Cheers :smileyhappy:


 

As far as I know the only reason you would see that message is if the NIS 2010 installer detected remnants of NIS 2009 still on your PC. Maybe when you tried to reinstall with the cd some files were installed, I don't know. In any case I would run the Norton Removal Tool to make sure there are no remnants of NIS 2009 on your system, then install NIS 2010 from one of the links provided by Yaso or mdturner. Run it twice with a reboot after each run.  NRT

Thankyou Mdturner for your response. I will look into purchasing the NIS2010, I was just trying to do the upgrade from NIS2009 as it is free and I still have some time remaining on that subscription so, as it stands it looks like I'll have to start a new subscription for NIS2010. Thanks :smileyhappy:


 

HI Mrtpotatohead

 

Sorry if you are getting the wrong impression here. NIS2010 is free to you as you have a valid NIS2009 subscription. You should run the Norton Removal Tool as there ssems to be some remnants of your 2009 product still there and the tool should get rid of that. Then run the 2010 installation and that should solve your issue.

Kudos!

As mdturner and I have said before: upgrading to NIS 2010 if you have a valid subscription for NIS 2009 is completely free. 

 

Instructions for running the removal tool to reinstall NIS 2010:

 

Note: the removal tool will wipe out your settings and any other Norton products installed on your computer. It will not touch your product key, however, and your newly installed Norton product should pick up your key automatically.

 

-download the removal tool from here and save it to your desktop:

http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&ssfromlink=true&sprt_cid=1a13409b-29db-4397-a286-9dec49f8e252&seg=hho&ct=us&lg=en&docurl=20080828154508EN

 

-download the full NIS 2010 installation package from here and save it to your desktop:

http://www.norton.com/nis10

 

-make sure you have got your product key handy (you can get it from your Norton account).

 

-deactivate any other security software you may have, such as Windows Defender. However, please leave Norton running. As a side note: running two real-time security programs on one machine is not recommended.

 

-if you wish, you can create a system restore point

 

-disconnect physically from the internet (remove the internet cable) that way your computer is not exposed.

 

-right-click on the removal tool icon, run as administrator; run the removal tool 2-3 times, rebooting each time after every run

 

-after running the removal tool: right-click NIS 2010 icon, run as administrator, let it install itself. When it wants to connect with the web, connect again to the internet.

 

Please post back with the results. Thanks :-)
