    Norton help

    I installed Norton antivirus on my home pc last week. Being on dial-up, I don't particularly want to go and automatically search for updates every five minutes, as it was doing, so I disabled it.
    Or so I thought, as still every five minutes it tries to connect to symantec.com.
    Can anyone help, without using the phrase 'don't use Norton, it's ****'?

    I can't help. I can only tell you I didn't see the back of Norton once and for all until I re-formatted the hard drive

    I know nothing about this area.
    Got my laptop about 6 months ago and Norton is running out now.
    Do i have to buy new Software every year or so to keep my laptop from going spastic.

    Change the date on your laptop!
    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
