New features and system requirements for Norton AntiVirus 2004 and
Norton AntiVirus Professional 2004

This document describes the new features and system requirements for
Norton AntiVirus 2004 and Norton AntiVirus 2004 Professional (NAV).

New features

Product Activation
Product activation is a technology that protects users from pirated or
counterfeit software by limiting use of a product to those users who
have acquired the product legitimately. Product activation requires a
unique product key for each installation of a product. You must
activate the product within 15 days of installing it.

Detection of non-viral security threats
Besides viruses, Trojans, and worms, NAV now includes expanded threat
detection the following types of known and emerging threats that could
put your computer at risk.
Adware
Spyware
Hack tools
Dialers

Remote access programs
Joke programs
Security risks

Auto-Protect now scans and repairs threats in compressed files
(Windows 2000/XP only)

On Windows 2000 and XP, NAV Auto-Protect now scans compressed files
whenever they are downloaded from the Internet, created, changed,
opened or moved.

Pause a Manual scan
The manual scan can now be paused. When the scan is resumed, it
continues on from where it was paused.

I have a home network and only one of these computer has access to the
Internet (a slow, old computer running W98). Does this mean that NAV2003
cannot be activated on those machines that do not have access to the web?

Does this also mean that I can only install it in just one of my machines,
but have to buy a new product for each machine?

No more Symantec for us, I hate product activations because if you need to
reinstall your OS you need to go thru the hassle again.

This NAV 2004 "Product Activation" has already been cracked as of
23-Aug-2003 by TSRH group. And is freely available on the internet. It is
the same scenario as the much bally-hooed "Windows XP" activation which was
also hacked successfully.

And lastly I agree with the other poster that commented this activations
protects Symantec and not the end user. That claim was simply a lie and
marketing tactic to scare people about "pirated software" and the much
dreaded "warez programs"

Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnn.................

No idea but AVG free from Grisoft will work. Just download the updates
from the online updates and transfer them.

Yes. It is in the licence agreement.

Right! Just like candy bars are displayed in the checkout lines
in the grocery store for the convenience of the customers.

....it's all about *you* the customer...not about money at all.

Wanna by a bridge? Pay me now, and it's yours as soon as
we're done painting it.

Come on guys.

I don't know of *any* product [at least those that are sold retail] that allow installation on as many boxes as one would like.
Norton, McAfee, AVG all say one box only. Activation is another matter. AVG states, free for non-server, non-commercial use only.

Having said that, if you are using a router, the private network is not seen. Only the public IP is seen by the host which is
serving the update files. In this configuration, many boxes can be updated live. One can also download the data file and place it
on a central box/server.

this repeat buyer of Symantec products is buying no more precisely because
of this activation "feature"

Intuit lost a lot of customers over activation, guess Symantec is even
dumber for not learning from Intuit's mistake.
