Hello Everyone,
We have just released a patch for Norton Internet Security 2009.
To download the updated installation files, please visit the Norton Update Center (http://www.norton.com/nuc). Please note that this will require you to uninstall and reinstall Norton Internet Security 2009.
If you wish to simply patch to the new version from your previous Norton Internet Security 2009 without having to reinstall the program, please wait for the patch to be available through LiveUpdate. We expect to have this available later on this week.
To verify you have 16.5, simply launch the Norton Internet Security Main User Interface, click on Help & Support, then click About. Your version number should be 16.5.0.135.
