Upgrading from Norton Internet Security 2008

Cookies and tracking cookies are not spyware and are harmless. Use CCleaner befoire running a scan and this will not happen.

They are Trojan.BHO and Adware.BHO. Is that harm to the computer? And yea, I think my computer run faster now.

NIS2009 is just in beta. So we can upgrade to it. But how if NIS2009 become fully tested and do we(upgrade from NIS07,08 or others) still can continue using it?

Unless you are being sardonic, where did you get that idea? NIS2009 went from beta to RTM early in September 2008 -- that's Tim Lopez' announcement here.

Hello andyggow2008, 

 

There are two schools of thought on that. I am generally in favor of the clean install, however I can tell you that I have done it both ways with NIS 2008 over NIS 2007 and have experienced no problems with either method.

 

However, I would prefer to reserve judgement on giving advice until NIS 2009 is officially released. NIS 2009 is built a bit differently than NIS 2008, so there may be some "official advice" given at the time of release.

 

We should wait to see what Norton advises on this when 2009 is officially released.

 

Best Wishes
