Load up a copy of Norton’s latest and no telling what you might find.

A bucketful of headaches, likely.

Ever since I renewed my subscription, it won't auto-update the virus signatures. That's a new 'feature' for them.

So every couple of weeks, I have to hunt them down and manually update the virus signatures.

This thread reminded me it's time to do that.

Of course, I could pay them $10 a pop for technical support so I could chat with folks in south Asia who will start with 'reboot your computer'.

By the way - good to see you back. It's been a while. These threads aren't nearly as much fun without you on them.

I would probably try a remove then reinstall, and it should remember your current subscription based on your e-mail address etc. If it doesn't you're no worse off than you were. But to be honest I've gone for a long periods of time just manually updating them, and pocketing the money myself. Sometimes they re-arrange their site where it's not obvious you can manually update without paying for them, but they're usually available out there just listed under the "business customers" portion of their site.

Thanks, I get quite a kick out of some of these rude know it alls myself, else I wouldn't waste so much time trying to educate them. ;-D
