Cause people could download virus without aware of it... like when the attachment on your mailbox open automatically cause it was associated an application... or you click on an attachment thinking it was from someone you know... etc.

How many computers should norton antivirus be installled?

AnswerWell practically speaking it should be installed on all of the computers that you use. However you don't have to install it on all of your computers. Just remember when you by the license it usually includes protection for 3 computers. Which means if you pay for it only use it with one computer than you are wasting your money.
