Norton Internet Security 2007 subscription renewal

Croaking_Toad SG

Last year, I decided to go legitimate, bought and installed Norton Internet Security 2007 (was about $90) in my system. The 1-year subscription has expired and the reminder notice sent everyday says an online renewal would cost me about $80.

Is this worth or is it better to just get Norton Internet Security 2008, would be about $90. In the time being, I'm downloading virus definition from Symantec's website every few days.

Or should I ditch the Nortons and get some other internet security programs since norton has been getting really bad reviews lately.

Can anyone suggest better internet security/anti-virus programs that don't cost a bomb?

Renewal shouldn't be so expensive... not in my experience. Maybe rules changed.

As for security suites which doesn't cost a bomb... take a look at Trend Micro and AVG. Available at Popular. I think Bitdefender also... but please do the settings for Bitdefender carefully... if it nukes anything... you can say bye bye to your files...

Kaspersky Anti-virus.

How come online renew so expensive? Mine Norton System Works 2006 less than $80 but I didnt renew afterall. I bought OEM Norton Internet Sercurity 2007 at SLS last month cost only $30 or less.

Sorry if it's a bit long. Just copied straight off the address. If unaccessable, it should read S$79.98 for norton internet security subscription renewal or S$89 for Norton Internet Security 2008/Norton SystemWorks Basic Upgrade Bundle. What a bummer!!!!

Okay, will have to make a trip to SLS one of these days to look at OEM option Mad

Hmm… my opinion is just to use another security suite.

Dun bother to renew. Just go down to SLS and get OEM. $30 only. Remember get the 2007 not 2008. 2008 more expensive. Some shops still have stock for the 2007 ones.
