I have Windows 98 and a slow dial-up connection. High speed isn't available in my area yet. As Charlie Brown would say, "RATS!"

I recently purchased on line Norton Internet Security 2004 upgrade. My problem is that when I follow the instructions to download it i. e. entering my order number and password and clicking find, then download, I am supposed to receive a message "Save this program to disk" I however get a message "do you want to remove the current content of the file "setup. exe" and start the download over.

I presently have a Norton Antivirus Subscription that expires in 13 days and am getting desperate. Am I supposed to unistall this one before I try and download the new one or should I just get myself down to the computer store ASAP.

Thanks a lot.

I'm not clear if you purchased a subscription update or if you purchased a new program, the Norton Internet Security package.

If this is just a subscription update, you should not uninstall the Norton. If you purchased a new program, then you should uninstall the old one before installing the new one.

However, for a dialup connection, the new program download is huge. If it were me, I'd go to Wal-Mart or a similar discount store and purchase the program on CD.

And, I might suggest you can download and install two free programs that will provide an equal level of protection.

For antivirus, click here for AVG 6.0.

And you can get an excellent free firewall program from Zone Labs by clicking here. This is for the free version of ZoneAlarm.
