darminal,
<< if there is any kind fo Norton 360 install (light version) specifically for netbooks. >>
There is a Netbook edition of Norton 360 -- see http://us.norton.com/360-netbook-edition/ but two things: The Keys are not interchangeable between the 4 subversions I mentioned and so if you have a normal N360 3 PC Standard you cannot use that key to activate the netbook edition and it is not really a light version but the standard versions.
It comes on a thumbdrive to deal with the absence of an optical drive on netbooks and the graphics was tuned to deal with the smaller screens of the early netbooks. It has some battery saving settings set to ON by default so that it does not do idle time jobs while you are on battery but those can be set in the standard version.
Many people are using the standard version on netbooks with no problems.
If by any chance your netbook came with the netbook edition installed you either have to buy a netbook subscription (for 3 PCs! -- many have asked for this to change to an interchangeable key since not many have 3 netbooks while many have a mix ..... There's a thread in Product Suggestions here suggesting this so please add your kudos to the message from the original poster since Norton do monitor the reactions and take them into account.
<< I have 3 computers / 1 has latest Norton 360 / another has Norton Internet Security 2011 and 3rd has McAfee Security >>
Do you want to install N360 on all three since you will have a licence for 3 PCs? If so and given that the N360 you have is old (but the subscription is still valid? ) I would uninstall all three using the NRT for the two Norton products and the McAfee tool for that one.
Note that you should export the Identity Safe Data to a safe place before uninstalling so you can Import it again. If you used Identity Safe on both N 360 and NIS export both to different files but you can import the NIS identity safe data into N 360 if you do replace NIS with N 360.
Please clarify about the NIS installation and replacing it or not ....
Anyway the same Norton Removal Tool will remove the various versions so what you will need for cleaning up is the Norton and the McAfee tools:
I would not trust an older copy of SymNRT to be able to remove all the latest patches to the software. Since Norton are updating their products all the time, the Norton Removal Tool is constantly updated.
This link: Symantec Norton Removal Tool. will direct you to the current Symantec Norton Removal Tool.
And
Then if you have the licence for the 3 PC N 360 Standard version download it from below since it will be more uptodate than anything on disk you may have purchased.
Did either computer have any other security software on it when you started downloading to install Norton 360? If so what is it; if there was and you removed it how did you remove it? Apart from the normal uninstalling nearly every security program has a special cleanup tool on its website that you can download and run after the normal install. Let us know first and we can point you to the right tools to use including one for Norton products if you had one installed -- like the trial versions that come on new computers. If they are identical to what you want to install now you may not have to clean up and we can tell you the shortcut.
New N360 V5: Click on the link that matches your version:
Norton 360 v5 Standard: http://www.norton.com/n360s_5/ << version with 2GB of online storage
Make sure you get the right version since the keys are not interchangeable. SAVE the file where you can find it -- do not run it from the download site when Windows asks what you want to do.
You can download that file on any computer and transfer it to a thumbdrive to install on another.
If you have VISTA (or Windows 7) on all the computers I recommend starting the installation by right mouse clicking on the downloaded file and selecting Run as Administrator since I find it gives more rleiable results ... but it is not available in XP and may not be available in Windows 7 Starter if that's what the netbook has.
You can use that file for all your installations and use the KEY to activate on normal and on netbook PCs. On N360 you click on Subscribe on the main screen and then use the KEY -- you should log into your existing MyNortonAccount and you may find that it will automatically pick up the KEY .... If not type it in or copy/paste it in.
That's a lot so do say if you've any questions ......
