Iv just had the warning pop up saying iv got to renew,so iv been looking on Ebay and found product keys numbers for sale for £6.99 me being tight are these keys safe ?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT

Or do i bite the bullett and buy genuine

i just use avg free version.

http://free.avg.com/gb-en/homepage

has worked well for the last few years, might buy it one day (right after i buy club membership)

I use AVG too, works fine for me. There is a better free one, but can't remeber what it's call right now.

Iv only had my new laptop 60 days and the free trail is over now and to renew it with them is £32.99 ish or i buy the product key (Ebay).

I would sooner stick with whats on the laptop as i don't want to start down loading other Anti Virus's just in case laptop packs up and i have to take it back,and don't want them to say cause it's got this that and the other on here we cannot help you

Remembered it! My son has it on his Dell after an IT person changed his hard disk. He has no problems and at 18 must look and down load all sorts of dodgey stuff.

Anyone got a product key going spare lol

If you ask around experienced folk including a collection of gamers It professionals web designers , home hobby users etc you will probbaly fid quite a lot of them say that Norton is the worst Anti-Virus product they have had the misfortune to come accross.

I have been paid good money just to properly remove it from P.C's it has 'infested'. I used AVG free for years but did get a few trojans etc and my recomendation now would be for Microsoft Security Essentials own totally free product Windows Defender ( you can Google it) . I have not had one problem since using it and it is very low on resource usage.

Prepare for the Norton fans to throw daggers at me !

Hello the Norton that was on a fee 60 trail seemed to work ok,and i don't really go on to any "other" sites if you get what i mean lol

Hi

My shop fixes LOTS of viruses on machines (both laptops and pcs)...

You will find NORTON INTERNET SECURITY 2011 on ALL my machines here.....which should tell you something lol...

Avg is as much use as a chocolate teapot... so are the other "free" ones... they CANNOT stop or find the new Russian viruses...

With AV you get what you pay for....

Anyone who seriously wants NIS 2011 ..EMAIL ME and I will send you out a disc (genuine) for trade price ..£20...inc postage (we normally sell it for £59.99) ...and it will go onto 3 machines for a year, on each...

All the best Brett

Mmmmmmmmmmm, Russian you say. We all know I've been downloading things from a Russian site. I might just take you up on the Brett.

Hi Lee

If you or anyone else wants NIS 2011...RING ME on 01202-525952 to give me address etc and you can either send a cheque sometime or pay on plastic over the phone if you wish....

All the best Brett

I won't argue with you or anyone else over Norton as it is down to opinion but as for
" you get what you pay for " I would just like to post an alternative view.

That phrase " you get what you pay for " was invented and is often used by folk who use it as an excuse for charging far too much for what they sell including much over priced junk. This can be a car a piece of software, shampoo or the even more classic example , a particular 'branded' piece of clothing.

If you did always get what you pay for in life wouldn't the world be a wonderful place. Trading standards would have been scrapped years ago and we could all just go out and hunt down the most expensive version of anything safe in the knowledge it must be the best because we were happy to be overcharged for it.

Calm down everyone

Im only after a product key

I also like NIS and have used it for at least 5 years, and have had nothing get through it, true maybe it is on the greedy side, but I have found very secure. For the last three years I have simply googled it and look for the deals, I have not paid more than £11 (1 machine) during that time, for 2 years it was from Comet ! all these were via disk, couple of days and often free post.

sorry but thats the usual scaremongering nonsense that has the technologcally challenged opening their wallets and makes norton bundles of cash for a product thats mediocre at best.
