Norton Internet Security can't be used overseas

Several months ago I was in Eastern Europe for a couple of months and at one point I updated iTunes. Updating this software caused Norton Internet Security to re-evaluate my license and it determined I did not have a valid license for the country I was in. I talked to the tech support guy in India but the best he could offer was an upgraded license for $15. I would have done it but I had a multi-user license and other family members back home would also have to update their systems and I would not be there to help them. I gave up and ran Bit Defender for the rest of my trip.

I am going back to Europe in a few weeks. Should I buy some other brand of virus protection before I go? Which brands don't have this restriction?
