Ok I thought I would access the viewpoints of the gurus here.
To simplfy the issue. I installed NIS 2014 in mid sept 2014 from the disk. By error, I installed it but neglected to be connected to the Internet until the te to activate.
I also had an issue where my password was not accepted for product registration (solution in AV Johnnys thread)
So these two issues make me consider reinstalling NIS 2014.
Now let me say this.
My product shows green check mark.
I am able to get def updates etc.
Scans both scheduled and post def update quick scans all run.
When I run auto fix it shows no problem.
When I check subscription status it shows registered (?) with appropriate number of days.
When I go to my Norton account it shows I have NIS 2014.
But despite all that part of me thinks installation was not done the right way as I was not connected to the Internet. So with my concerns and the details I provided, should I reinstall?
