Hi

I have a copy of nortons anti-virus downloaded from the net and paid up to
date. I am getting a new computer and want it on my new computer. How do I
do that.

Just copy the whole directory on norton anti-virus over or download again
somehow?
I cant find anything on the web site to download this

what can i do

I can forgive theft but not incompetence If you're going to
pirate software, learn to do it right. And that means keeping
the source.

As for where and how to get bootleg software, who am I to
encourage you in your life of crime? However, I will say that is
so easy and available that it would be astounding if you could
not bootstrap into it after five minutes' research.

BTW, if you do decide to trawl the net for bootleg software, be
sure your firewalls, anti-virus, and anti-spyware software are in
good working order.

Regards,

Look Buddy

Either give me a sensible reply or take your nonsense elsewhere onto another
forum. This is a group for sensible people wanting help not some teenage
'have a swipe at people' for the hell of it.

If you only want to be stupid i suggest you spend your time doing something
else more meaningful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have got some very odd replies so far to say the least.

I have got nortons anti-virus paid up to date. The software was put on by
Computer technician who fixed our computer when it became full of viruses 2
years ago. We dont have a CD but the copy can be verifed. I just want to put
it on new PC.


PS. No funny replies please

I said "...ie be careful what you download. You WILL get more than your
bargained for..." In other words, it sound like you are downloading illegal
software. Many sites claim to give users "hacked" software when in fact it
has trojans...

I was just trying to point that out...

A word to the wise is sufficient.

But, it seems, no amount of counsel is appreciated by the unwise.

And I cordially suggest you go **** yourself.

Nobody here has any interest, let alone obligation, towards
spoon-feeding you in your thefts.

Phone or email Symantec and stop wasting everybody's time here.
