&^%&^ Norton Anti-Virus

[opabinia]

I got an error message from NAV saying "cannot read subscription data/reinstall NAV." I removed NAV, and when I tried to reinstall it, I got something like "maximum number of downloads for this product has been reached." My paid subscription has not expired, so something had to be wrong. I went to the Symantec web site, and my product (2002) has been discontinued, so there is no support for it. WTF!?! I've been shafted by Symantec?

Anyone wanna give me a copy of Norton Anti-Virus? Email me. I certainly don't plan on paying for it again.

Is it possible to maintain a virus-free computer by simply avoiding mystery attachments? I thought you could catch one by just visiting a booby-trapped URL, and that bad people hack random sites to screw visitors.

i believe so, but you either have to run a script in your browser or download a file. besides, i pretty much never go to random sites. that still doesn't justify not having AV software though, i know.
