    If it's the same program, the program will prompt you when it expires to enter the code - so basically dont worry about it till it expires.

    If it is a separate program then uninstall the current norton, then download and reinstall the version you purchased.

    Kasiga I wouldn't have Norton on my Computers. I have repaired 100s of desktops that people have complained about them running very slow and have had Norton installed. On an average 10 to 25 trojan virus's per computer that Norton hasn't picked up. AVG free is as good as any.

    AVG is good, Avast! has 64bit support.

    www.filehippo.com has a good list of free/trial anti virus programs.

    Norton is free and it is just fine for the average user. Of course if you want to look like an expert on security, then get COMODO.

    AVG 8 is not supported by 64bit? Strange...it seems to be fully integrated and compatible with my vista 64bit...
