We gave our SON a laptop for Christmas and it came with a 30 day subscription to Norton Antivirus. The copy I have of Norton does not run on his laptop. Does anyone know where I can get a free/cheap copy of Norton?

Thanks.Norton AV is not freeware so anyone giving it away for free (or very cheaply) is most likely distributing a pirated version.
But I've got a better idea. Forget about Norton and try AVG instead.
It uses FEWER system resources than Norton, catches more viruses, and did I mention it's free.

You can get the free version of AVG here. (REMEMBER to uninstall any other AV software before installing AVG.)
If you want to renew you son's license for Norton AV I suggest you buy it directly from Symantec.
And for a complete protection you may also want to add the following :

AdAware

SpyBot Search and Destroy

AVG Anti-Spyware ( different than AVG AV )

Win Patrol

Comodo Firewall

All of the above are FREE and will give you a well rounded arsenal of protection.
Office Depot had Special on Norton Anti Virus. Got it for FREE. Price $39. with $10 immediate OD disc, plus $30.00 Rebate from Symantec (NAV.)

Been using NAV for 5 years, and find it does an OUTSTANDING job for me.
