Can't Activate Norton Security, Having Uninstalled and then Reinstalled It?

Had to uninstall Norton Security during the week, following a problem with the computer.

Reinserted Norton disc.

It loaded up ok, but would not activate.

Am just left with an egg timer and cant click on activate, although it seems to be working for mail.

Norton site was no help.

Any suggestions?

Have already uninstalled and installed a few times to try to correct problem.

Also, what free security is best to use while Norton is out of action?

Windows Defender?

Have you also installed Internet Explorer 7 recently, the reason why I ask is that my husband had the same problem with Norton.

He ended up having to get help by BT taking over his laptop %26 uninstalling several programmes, then installing Mozilla Firefox.

A new pin number was then sent to his Norton %26 it eventually worked.

Apparently, IE7 is only in the testing stage %26 they told him to avoid intalling IE7 until it was fully functioning.
is it running a scan before complete install ?

try avg free it is top. they are updating it soon though so will need to re-install again. hope this helps.
Did you download and use the norton removal tool?

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\If not do it and should solve your problem.

Things get left behind when you uninstall norton.

Good luck
