Questions about updating to NIS2010

I decided it was time to update my NIS2009 to the 2010 version. I took a look at “Tim’s” floating thread entitled “Norton Internet Security 2010 and Norton AntiVirus 2010 have been released!”  In it he has a link to the Norton Update Center. If you follow the link it would lead you to believe that NIS2010 will be automatically downloaded and then installed.  :smileyvery-happy:   Has anyone successfully used this method?

I took a look at several other postings and most seem to say to download NIS2010 and the Norton Removal tool; remove NIS2009 then do the 2010 install and everything will be fine including the existing license. Is that the preferred method?

I have Norton Ghost 14; will the Norton Removal tool also remove that application as well?

Thanks,
Mike
