Is Norton Internet Security 2009 compatible?

LOL!
Norton 2009 products now work with windows 7!
Thread right under yours answers that...

Title of that thread is misleading.
Norton 2009 products do not work properly with win7.

Symantec made a temporary 2009 beta that is compatible, but it is in beta, and you have to reactivate it every 14 days.

Or in my case every 12 days for some strange reason

Could be 12, I could be mistaking about the days.

You are right its either 14 or 15 but as soon as I installed it it said 12 days ramaining. weird, but not important.

Nope, about a week ago they released a update.
My friend is using Norton antivirus 2009 serial on windows 7 on his computer without a problem. He used the same serial that he used when he had windows Vista. No problems.
I think your thinking about 2010 - Were you haft to reactivate it every 14 days. Lol!

I visited norton website yesterday, no news about any update.
There was a statement that norton product are compatible, but if you click on the link you are directed to 2010 beta.

Further more as a subscriber I should get an email when the update is released.

I will go to norton website now and check again.

Ok, how typical.

Update is not yet available for Dutch version.
That's why I couldn't find it, nor got any message.

By the way.
There seem to be quite a few issues with that patch, so I will stay with 2010 beta for a while.
Has been very stable.

I just did a full scan.
It took only 1hr and 36min. vs 5hr and 30min that NOD 4 took.
Norton found the 5 trojans I planted just like NOD 4 did.

But it found another 8 threats I didn't know of (all in rar files), and NOD didn't find.

So much for Virus Bulletin's reliability.

Edit: forgot to mention Norton used 30% to 50% CPU allowing me to work, vs NOD crippling my PC at 90% to 100% CPU.

I have NIS 2009 installed on both win 7 rtm pc's at home and have zero issues with it. No errors in event logs and even their Sonar thingy seems to be at 100%.

Edit- version is 16.7.2.10

Good to hear.

From what I've seen in my brief visit to the norton forum, is that a lot of people were having problems with the patch.
But it's impossible to say how many people don't have issues because they won't complain on the forum.
