I just got 2009 got the updates and clicked on full system scan.4 hour later it is still scaning.With 2008 a full system scan was done on the same pc in under 30 miniutes.Why is this still scaning after 4 hours?Any ideas the scan is working as it shows the volume of files scaned.but why is it so  slow.

How did you Remove Norton 2008?  What O.S. are you using?

Are you seeing the scanned file changed or is it 'stuck' on one file? If it is stuck, you may wish to try disabling Compressed Files Scan to see if that helps.

Yes it's true.  Just go to the symantec Online Store and look at the Features.  Een better, just Open Norton AntiVirus 2009 that is on your computer...

Do you have the Disc for Norton AntiVirus 2008, or did you Buy the Download Version?

[Hac]

I bought the download version.Still have 200 days left on it.I went to my noton account online and tryed to download it over.I had saved my product key #.But now it trys to give me 2009 not the original 2008.

Realy not happy.I know i should have check into 2009 further but I just didnt think it would not have a firwall.Why did they not include the firewall on 2009?

I would Recommend Downloading Norton 2008, then use the Norton Removal Tool, re-start, then Double-Check on the Downloaded Norton 2008 Product, Install, then you are Safe to Connect to the Internet again.

I want to re-download my Norton 2008 Product: http://solutions.symantec.com/sdccommon/asp/symcu_defcontent_view.asp?ssfromlink=true&sprt_cid=a4191....
