Rose, I went to Fry's website and saw Norton Anti-Virus 2007 for $50. and
zero dollars after the store rebate. I don't remember just how much I paid
to renew Norton Anti-Virus (which was just last month) but it was more than
that and I don't have a CD. Shucky darn! Next year I will check with Fry's
on line before I renew.
