Thanks for helping guys!! One more question if I don't do the update will my computer still be protected??? Sorry if these are all realy simple questions. I can use a computer just dont understand software and security etc lol.
You are not alone .....
It may help if you distinguish between update and upgrade ....
Updates come down through the automatic updating that takes place in the background and/or through manual live updating and some may need you to restart the computer after the downloading in order to finish the changes --- you will either get a notice to do this when you run the liveupdate manually (maybe two buttons one saying Restart Now and one Restart Later in case you are in the middle of doing something) or it will just happen next time you restart your computer and you might notice it takes a little longer than usual as it cleans up files it can't remove while the computer is in use.
Upgrades that you get a notice about are usually the once a year major change from say V5 to V6 in the case of Norton 360 or 2011 to 2012 in the case of Norton AntiVirus or Internet Security.
And since this is an honest place, that "less than 1 minute to install" is a slight exageration in most cases but it is still remarkably rapid compared with what it used to be.
Where you will not be protected at all is if you let your subscription expire since everything stops dead when that happens -- it does not continue to run but without the latest changes.
Hope that helps but you know where to come .....
