Belatucadrus Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Without the original disk or installation file it'll be difficult, if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 How to reinstall Norton Anti-Virus while migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7?This is a very good opportunity to get rid of any Norton/Symantec software. Why spoil the Windows 7 experience by installing crapware on it...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dencandy Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I agree with what others have said about Norton, having had the nightmare experience myself of trying to uninstall it after it malfunctioned.Why not try Microft's own free Security Essentials? Available HERE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I would echo the above views on Norton - it has given too many users too many problems over the years.I now use Windows Security Essentials as mentioned by Decandy. It loads quickly and has reasonable scan speeds. Having used Defender for a couple of years with not ever having a malware infection I am confident that this new successor will prove to be its equal or better.
