symantec daily updates

[soltech2]

On my computer I have daily updates from symantec.
I would like to get this for a friend.
This is a free version.
I went to their site but I don't know exactly where this is.

Thanks

Are you talking about the new Symantec "Norton Security Scan"? I know that one is free. Or are you talking about some other Symantec product?

Or you could try AVG, which is free for personal use:

Carlsberg don't run I.T departments, but if they did they'd probably be more fun.

Yes, if you are looking for a free antivirus solution with automatic updates that works well, AVG works great, in my opinion. I've been using that one for at least 3 years or so with no problems. I've also installed it on many other computers (business and personal).

Symantec's Norton antivirus in its "full capacity" is not free, so you may want to try something like AVG, or maybe Avast or Antivir - all 3 of these are free.

Hi kjv
I went there but ther is no link to download norton.
Thanks

The only way that I know of being able to download that free Norton service is by downloading the "Google Pack" software package. Norton is one piece of it. If you didn't want anything but the Norton program, I'm sure you can just uncheck all the others in the list. At one of the pages, there is a button/link that says "add/remove software" or something to that extent. Click that button, and check/uncheck what you want - Norton is in that list.

Norton Security Scan

I am trying to download this norton security scan
I can't
I have allowed comodore to allow this site and still can't.
What could be the problem.

How are you trying to download it?

What you have to do is this:

1. click "add/remove software"
2. Make sure Norton is checked - if not check it (this is on the next screen).
3. Click the button "download google pack" follow instructions...
4. Norton will be downloaded and installed automatically.

There is no link to ONLY download Norton. If you ONLY wanted Norton out of all the software, you could just uncheck everything and then ONLY check Norton. Then once it's installed, I'd imagine you could uninstall Google Pack, leaving Norton installed - or at least it appears that it is installed totally separately.
