Hi,   I am new to this site and not very conversant with Laptops.   Last week I reset my HP  and after could not reinstall Norton 369.   It read that another download was running.   I assume it meant  Norton Security which I previously re installed.    So,  I contacted Norton who put me through to an Indian call Centre who asked me to hand over the control to them and they showed me a host virus.    They then passed me over to COGNUSTECH.com   who charged me £104  to fix it and cover my computer 's Norton protection for the next 5 years.    I agreed .   The computer is fine but the protection only shows for 20 days.    Can someone please advise me as to whether this is normal Norton  attitude.   Thanks.
