    Some of the 1.2 million customers that have installed software maker Symantec's latest Norton PC security package have been unable to use the software because of new antipiracy technology, the company confirmed Thursday.

    Lets wait and see how this backfires at them for trying to make the same thing microsoft did. If they whant to stop piracy there other ways, bucause by puting more cryto and passwords,locks serial # and that kind of stuff there is always someone thats going to find the algorithm or way to avoid registration,or wath ever type of "lock" it has.

    I have the new Norton Internet Security 2004, and had no problems with it. However I still have the 2003 edition and still plan on using it as I can just uninstall the reinstall to have my subscription renewed.

    That may work for a while but virus writters are getting smarter and smarter so eventually that version of norton will fail to detect them. at least that is what I think will happen

    yeah it works great for me.

    I mean, I don't want to pay these people 40 bucks everytime I want AV definitions.

    If my old version, which is automatically updated to the newest version, fails.. your new version will too since I get the exact same updates you get... so it doesn't matter....

    And chey.. I don't see a box...
