I didn't KNOW I was getting a new puter. my old one is in for repairs but it's not a great model and probably past it's prime..I couldn't wait for almost 3 weeks to get it fixed, so I got a new one on the spur--so to speak. I had a package deal that included Norton 2006 installed AND updated and all windows updates..but anything I spose is possible. I can download just about anything else..just not the security stuff. No other AV or firewall even tho I don't have a firewall at the moment other than what XP has. I can't download so I am stuck. Kinda wonder if maybe some other security issue in Win isn't stopping things. VERY curious.... How long does WHAT software last? There was a trial software of Norton that was over ridden by a new install done at time of purchase..Good for a year. But it is possible something else is causing the problem.. cause I just did a BIG download that went fine. Installed with no problem...so leads me to wonder if it isn't a security issue in Win maybe????
