I am usuing Norton Anti-Virus 2001 (part of system works). I've been
keeping my virus definitions up to date by using LiveUpdate. I tried to
renew it on line and was told my AV is no longer supported and I can't renew
LiveUpdate for the AV.

I notice that at the Symantec site there is something called Intelligent
Update. Can I use that to update my virus definitions? Is it free? Would
I be better off just uninstalling Norton AV and downloading one like
AVGFree or Avast?

You have to upgrade to a more current version. After so long NAV will not
allow you to update the DAT files. Even if you pay.

One option you may wish to try is avast! 4.6.

Did the 1-year subscription expire? How many days were left?

You realize that you have 1 year of free updates when you install it.

You should be able to re-activate the 1-year free update period by
simply un-installing and re-installing it.

After you un-install it, you need to delete all norton and symantec
directories on the computer (regardless of where they are) and then
re-install it. That should give you another year of free updates.

You need to have the original NAV or NSW CD. I have copied the CD
(NSW 2002) to the hard drive of several computers so that I can run it
from the hard drive when the need arises.

So how do you pay for all the licenses?
