For best security, is there any sense in using both Norton Antivirus and Norton Internet Security pr

Here's the deal. I have Norton Systemworks Basic 2006 on my system. I also later purchased Norton Internet Security. When updating my Systemworks to Antivirus 2007, loading it required that I uninstall Internet Security. After loading Antivirus 2007 I tried re-installing Internet Security. Got the same message; to load, need to uninstall other product. Trying to get help from Norton seems impossible.



Three questions:



1. Can anyone verify that having Norton Internet Security is a waste--in terms of adding protection--if you already have Norton Antivirus?



2. If not, anyone have a means to get around this catch 22 of needing to uninstall one security product to load the other?



3. Anyone know how to hold Norton accountable for a simple question?

Dear Bruce



Yes having Norton Internet security



is a waste when you already have



"Norton Antivirus 2007" because



2007 automaically comes with a



firewall that protects you %26 have



antispyware added.



One downside to the firewall in



Norton's is you can't configure it



like you can in Zone Alarm Security



Suite.



I hope this helps you.
