Just curious. Why don’t you use the 2008 version?
This computer was purchased last year, I think around January / February '07. At that time, we purchased the 2006 Antivirus software. If there is some free upgrade from '06 to '08 I could do that. I don't "surf" much so I am really not up-to-date about such things. Though, to be fair, I did search for a very short while, before I registed an account on these forums, about any free upgrades from '06 to '07 and turned up some upgrades that were not free (I think 19.95).
hi Jamoah - from what i've read, upgrades from 2006 and 2007 to 2008 are free with a valid and active subscription - you can download it from here.

Found and am currently downloading and installing 2008 through the “Symantec Download Manager”. The link given above didn’t work for me mel, but I searched and found http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/98137/free-update-to-norton-internet-security-2007.html. Using that, it linked to some upgrade-checker-Sysmantec-bridge program that checks the current version and shows what free upgrades are available for download. I will see if this fixes everything.

Correct and you can simply use your current just bought license
Hm…finished going through everything: downloaded, ran the install, accepted the user agreement etc., “finished” installation requireing reboot, rebooted…then for the next, what, 20 minutes+ I stared at a screen saying “Norton is verifying your computer” or something along the same lines. I ended up Ctrl-Alt-Del’ing the process and restarted. I couldn’t do anything while this screen was up, almost as if the computer was locked. So now I have no Antivirus software at all. Going to try the entire process over again.
Please try uninstalling 2006 with the NRT tool first –> than install 2008
The download manager uninstalled 2006 before it downloaded 2008 and installed it. I just completed the whole process over again. And 2008 is now installed. I was able to put in my existing account information and have 119 days put onto my 2008 antivirus usage. At the current time right now, Norton is updating it’s definitions and protection. So, I do believe everything is nice and in order. After everything gets updated, I’m expecting to see the happy green check mark on the bottom toolbar. I do appreciate both of your input and help MelodicWynd and Stu. I’ll get back asap after the LiveUpdate runs it’s course…and it’s done. There is the green check mark…and I have Norton 2008. Fantastic! Thanks again you two. (^_^)
You´re welcome. Glad I could help
