Norton Antivirus 2004 Upgrade

Sep 11, 2004 3:54PM PDT

I have Norton Systemworks Pro 2004 installed. I bought a Norton Antivirus 2004 CD and would like to know if there will be any problems installing it. Do I have to uninstall the entire Systemworks program, or can I just uninstall the 2003 antivirus and install the new one?

Why upgrade?

All you'll get is a few more bells and whistles. Keep 2003 and keep it updated. It's also cheaper.

First you already has NAV 2003 installed. Then you installed NSW Pro 2004. I do beleive NAV 2003 will automatically migrated into NAV 2004 (if you chose full install option) and listed inside NSW Pro 2004 list.

In other words, I would uninstall both NAV 2003 and NSW Pro 2004, reboot the PC then reinstall NSW Pro 2004 with full install option.

I have not installed the NAV2004 yet. I wanted to know if I can install only the NAV2004 and keep the rest of Systemworks Pro 2003? If uninstall the whole program, can I re-install only the other things I want from the Systemworks 2003? I do not have Systemworks Pro 2004 - just the NAV 2004.

I'm a little confused here with your post. Norton Systems Works 2004 already has Nortons Anti-Virus 2004. Now if it is 2003 Systems Works, all you need to do is renew your subscriptions for Antivirus difinitions (updates)(like someone already said) and don't really need the 2004 anti-virus program. But, if you went ahead and already purchased the Nortons Anti-Virus 2004 to go on a 2003 Systems Works, you just go into the Control Panel under Add/Remove and Remove only the Anti Virus portion, leaving the rest, reboot, then install the 2004 Anti Virus program.

Sorry for the mixup. I would have downloaded the upgrade when my subscription expires in a few weeks, but my daughter bought me the NAV2004 CD.
So, I can uninstall the NAV2003 and just install the 2004 with uninstalling anything but that? Great! Thank you so much. Have a blessed day.
