Hey guys. I'm thinking of buyin Norton Internet Security personal or Professional, but I was told that for some reason, Norton Internet Security 2005 will not work with my computer.... Is it true? I have a Gateway PC, 384 megs of RAM, and everything that I should, from what I know..... Anybody ever hear of this strange rumor? Please respond soon..

Save you cash and hard drive space...www.majorgeeks.com for sygate personal edition free....and anti vir...personal edition also free....spend the cash on more ram or cdrw disk etc...

ok. Just curious because my friend has it, and is going to let me install it on my cpu, but I wanted to make sure that it would be compatible....

CPU = Central Processing Unit....

If your system meets the requirements for the Norton package, I don't see in why it would not work. Who told you that it wouldn't work?

[Flame]

My computer manufacturer. lol Maybe they were just kiddin, but they said that Norton 2005 Edition stuff will not work with a Gateway computer.

you may find norton will not work on you pc....its licensed to your mates pc?<subscription> M_2

You can usually use the license on two or three PC's..

Well, actually, what happened was, I had to erase my HD, called Gateway for free help, and I think I had a virus, but I'm not sure.... Anyway, while I was on the phone with Gateway, the tech said that Norton 2005 products for some reason do not work with Gateway computers..... I just want to know if it's true. I'm not concerned about licences... (Although licences would be a problem later. lol)

Personally, I use Antivir, and I am currently getting Sygate (after merlins advice). I don't like Norton, and so I will have to say that you should scrap getting Norton, and save your money.
