Norton Internet Security 2012 Netbook Edition standalone installer?

Hi All,

 

Firstly, is there a Netbook Edition for NIS2012?

And, secondly, if there is, where might I be able to download a standalone installer for it from?

 

I currently have NIS2011 Netbook Edition installed (which was upgraded to from NIS2010 Netbook Edition, and which I do have a standalone installer for), and I plan to upgrade when my subscription expires in about a month, but I'd like to have a standalone installer available (so that I can put it onto my NIS2010 Netbook Edition USB-stick) in case I need to reinstall my OS and apps at any time in the future.

 

However I can not find such an installer, or even any mention of NIS2012 Netbook Edition, anywhere on the Symantec/Norton site.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Scott Hill.

Thanks Dick,

 

Erm...

 

'Bad' in what sense?

 

Does the new NIS2012 contain the Netbook friendly features (like the 'on battery' mode, reduced dialog sizes, etc)?

All there :smileylol:

Only 'bad' in the sense that you will not be able to get the product you wanted and are being 'forced' to accept a newer, better product [tongue firmly in cheek]

Ok, thanks. :D

 

Presumably the Netbook features aren't enabled by default in 2012, right?

 

If so, what will I need to do to enable them?

 

Is it just a case of changing Settings->Misc->Netbook Mode to On?

 

Like in NIS2011 Netbook Edition?

Anyone?

Hi ScorpionOx7,

 

There is no longer any netbook edition, or any netbook-specific functionality in Norton 2012.  This year's product is designed to work well on netbooks as well as larger PCs.  You do not need to do anything special after installing.  Also, if your netbook edition subscription is still valid, the product key can now be used to activate Norton 2012, even though it is not a netbook version.

Hi,

In the general section under performance monitoring there is a setting for low resource usage on battery power. That's about the only thing that is laptop/netbook/notebook computer related.

Be sure to read SOJ's message. Good advice.:smileywink:

Hi TomRussell  welcome to the norton community. I have noted that the note book edition is far as I know is  aviabile at Target stores in the U.S  but it is a spicial edition only at Target and it is a Norton 2011 version. as others have suggested that you should get the 2012 version.with the up to date security.
