I have a home version of Norton Antivirus 2002 that came with my Dell pc.

My question: Can I use this NAV software on another pc I have at home? Meaning, can I load it onto another pc and used it since I have a paid copy from my other pc? ... or do you have to buy NAV for each pc you want to use it on?

Thanks,

Todd

Norton used to (Norton 2K and earlier) work on multiple machines and the only limitation was that it only worked for one year regardless of where you installed it. I assume it still works that way so you should have no trouble. Legally it is still software piracy if you install it on 2 machines, but IMO it is a "smoking a joint" level of piracy. Let your conscience be your guide, then set and forget it.

Thanks for the help, I think it has to go online to register, so I was thinking it would know I already have it installed, although maybe not.

is the 24.95 (less than one month of SBC YAHOO DSL) going to break your budget to register a second copy?

just get AVG.

it's free.
it's reliable.
it's less clunky and intrusive than Norton or McAfee.

did I mention it's free?

Yes, it might break me. My DSL is $44.95. I was just wondering if I could use it on both pc's. If I buy a game for my pc, I can use it on both, I wondered if Antivirus was the same.

Thanks DD.
