NORTON 2010 is out!

Norton's site is hopeless:

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Firewall/Norton-Internet-Security.shtml

 

ha ha forgot they do that

Softpedia say next to Licence/Price "Ad-Supported / USD 59.99..."
Whats the Ad? Is Softpeadia wrong, is it the Ask toolbar or is the trial different to the pay-for product and has other ads with it?

 

~removed direct download link of exe....Bubba~

30 day trial direct link

 

From comments on different threads on Wilders, it's the Ask toolbar during install however i upgraded from NIS09 and it picked up the serial itself and i didn't see any toolbar option.

Yes exact link Softpedia has, however i wasn't sure about direct linking to .exe's

 

no toolbar option for me either. and i figured since its digital river its for sure a legit download. i can upload it to one of my accounts if need be. its only a trial.. so i didnt think there was anything wrong

 

Would you care to elaborate, please ?

 

Possibly no harm no foul but our preference is no direct download links. In this case, we'll defer on the side of caution since it's not Symantec and ask that direct links to a site where members can then choose the exe link would be our preference.

 

I have asked LarryB the same a couple pages back but no response!

 

can i upload it then somewhere into a zip file for those to download??

 

Is there no place to download this without giving credit card info?

 

Have PMed you a link!

 

I find it unacceptable that they require you to include your credit card number before you can download the trial (opt-out trial, that is).

 

For those who may need a symantec link for 2010 (2009 in html address is your "current" version).

Got it...thanks!!!

 

any link to the AV alone?

 

It is very strange indeed.

However, can you give them a fake CC number and name ?

I'm not sure if that is legal.

 

I don't think so. You see, downloading the trial is like purchasing from their store, which is really strange. The store will verify your card, and if it is not valid, the transaction may not go through.

 

This link to NIS 2010 30 day trial didn't ask me for any credit card info http://nct.symantecstore.com/fulfill/0184.092

 

If you want to update from NIS 2009 to NIS 2010 use this update link http://updatecenter.norton.com/manually.ftl

This way you don't have to uninstall first and it doesn't ask for your key, etc.
Warning - the new version won't have your old settings, like firewall exclusions, scanning exclusions, etc.
