Reason I ask.......my Norton antivirus was running out of date.....I bought a new cd for 2007 Norton antivirus, deleted the old virus protection in the add/remove programs area....
Put the new cd I bought into the drive.....little window pops up stating more or less that I need xp or such for cd to run and antivirus to take hold....currently have windows 2000 on my computer.....
I slugged through Norton's website and finally got to the page where I could send a message to a service tech there......described my problem, sent the message upon which time I received an autoreply from them stating that a service tech would email me within 24 hours. That was Thursday and I still haven't heard zip from them. THANKS!
So now I'm left with either trying to take the cd back to the store and getting a refund or exchanging it with a cd version for windows 2000 which they didn't have and doubt they would have given the technology is near 7 years old, or trying to slug it out on a Microsoft website trying to upgrade to a version this antivirus cd will communicate with.
How much bullshit am I going to go through on the Microsoft website getting from point A to point B...(it can't be any worse than the clusterfuck at Norton and I'm a firm believer that if there was a sportsbook out there that ran a website like that that it's soon fold up shop. But then again computers aren't user friendly and until Gates gets some true competition we're stuck with having to learn the complicated stuff and a tough shit response to user friendly)......and am I going to lose any files or such switching to the upgrade?
What do I need to know?
Thanks......
