How do you protect your computer from viruses?

First, you should get a good anti-virus software (and keep it up-to-date) like F-Secure, McAfee, Norton Antivirus, AVG, or Avast. Make sure they are kept up to date and that your subscriptions (if any) are active.

Second, don't open email attachments from people you don't know. Also avoid any websites that seem suspicious or appear in spam emails. If you get an attachment and it looks suspicious, don't open it until you confirm that someone you know did send it.

Third, disconnect your computer from the Internet when you aren't using it. If you have DSL or Satelite, either turn off the computer or unplug the cable to the modem. Having a computer run all day with a connection is an invitation to hackers and viruses.

Product key for Norton Antivirus 2010?

The serial number would either be on the back of the CD case or within the documentation that came with your software when you purchased it. You will know it is the serial number because it is a mix of numbers and/or letters separated by dashes, usually around 20 characters long.

You can't install this software without the serial number. Follow the on screen instructions during installation. One of the instructions will come up asking you to enter the serial number - put it into the white boxes - and the installation will continue. You can't use the software without installing it.

Contact costumer services at Norton (by mail, email, or phone). They will probably need proof of purchase such as original receipt, bar code on package, or some other form of identification. They will instruct you on what is needed and will then give you a new serial number if necessary.

Downloading proprietary software is illegal (except for trials). This is called piracy. Using serial numbers that you did not purchase is also illegal, even if you purchased the software and lost your serial number (see above for obtaining a new one in this case). It is also illegal to use key generators (keygens) which provide serial numbers as well as cracks to bypass expired time trials or entering a serial number and no-CD cracks which enable you to use the software without the original purchased CD for the software.

WikiAnswers will not provide serial numbers or links to serial numbers. We will also not provide information or links on where to obtain pirated software, serial numbers, keygens, or cracks. If you are caught doing any of these, you may be blocked from using WikiAnswers as well as reported to the proper officials and/or the company who created the software.

Note: This is a catch-all question. Neither it nor its alternatives should be deleted or removed. It should also remain protected so that illegal information cannot be posted.
