    Could anyone please tell me what exactly different between Synmantec Anti virus and Norton Anti virus . I know it from same owner but when I go to the Synmantec site, I can't find Synmantec AV which I am using. From my view, it's very simple soft and very light but very good. Even I already turn it(status icon) off, for example, it still protects my Laptop. I would like to extent this one but I dont know how.

    Symantec Antivirus (SAV) = business, corporations, servers, etc.
    Norton Antivirus (NAV) = personal home/office

    you can use SAV for your laptop...consumes abit of memory...it's more for advanced users.

    You can't. A five-user license is the minimum available for the business license. And you generally are able to upgrade your version of SAV based-on your support contract when you get said license.
