Hello, mo,

    I would suggest following Phil_D latest Post as to aviod problems with the install of N.I.S. 2009 and once N.I.S. 2009 is installed.

 

Just to make clear:

01. If you buy the Download, Download the N.I.S. 2009 on to your Desktop. 

02. Un-install via Add/Remove to save you Identity Safe log-ins.

03. Download Norton Removal Tool.

04. Dis-connect from the Internet and then run the N.R.T..

05. Once re-started, double-click on the saved N.I.S. 2009 on your Desktop and install on your system.

06. Run LiveUpdate to get the latest Updates for your Norton Product. 

Phil_D did not recommend steps 3 or 4, as they should only be used if the previous or current installation does not complete successfully. I agree with the rest of your steps, though, all except the use of the Norton Removal Tool.

Hello ProTruckDriver,

 

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.

 

Best Wishes
