I bought Norton Internet protection last year when I bought my lap top and the annual protection is due to expire in 29 days. I received a reminder from Norton to say that renewing my subscription for another year would cost about £80, wnich is four times the amount I originally paid!!!
Does this sound right? i checked out Amazon and I can buy a new version 2010 of Norton for under £25. Can I buy a new updated (cheaper )version or do I have to upgrade (expensive) the version I already have? Please help. Thanks
Buy the cheaper version! if it's a totally different package you may have to remove the one you have now and install the new version. But £80 is a huge amount for a single license!
Also as Chuck says you may need to remove the existing software before installing from new disc. This may need you to download a special removal tool from the Norton site as some of these programs built-in options do not fully remove them.
If you want to stick with Norton you'll need this special tool to remove the old version:

(You can't remove Norton from the control panel)
Most of the 'regulars' around here would probably suggest that you should simply ditch Norton and use the free software that's available. See my post here for a list of the most popular products:
