Anti Virus

Hi everyone. I had Norton Security on my last computer and reinstalled it on
my new one (with Vista). To my disappointment Norton has told me that I have
to purchase another key as the one I have can not be used. This is due to the
fact that I have used it 5 times. I tried to explain that I had computer
problems (hence the reason for purchasing a new one) and that is why I have
used the key 5 times. I also loaded it on my laptop onece. Anyway, I still
have over 200 days left on my current key and am really upset over having to
pay again! Anyone have any ideas or suggestions. Norton will not budge with
allowing me to use the key one more time. So I figure if I have to pay again
is there a better Anti Virus program to purchase? Thank you for all your help!

Well, Norton doesn't monitor these newsgroups, so your post isn't going to
catch their attention. In addition, these are newsgroups for people doing
..Net programming, and you're not asking about .Net programming, so you're
not likely to get an answer. I would suggest that you post a question to a
Norton forum, or get back in touch with Norton. Your other choice is to buy
some anti-virus software. Asking random strangers for their opinions isn't
likely to get you good advice either, BTW.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
