Norton 360 via internet download or from Best Buy??

Here's the situation. In a few days my Norton 360 program expires. I want to renew via the internet. Should I download from E-Bay or Amazon or directly from Norton? I could save approx. 20 to 25 bucks! Or, do I go to Best Buy and get a CD which runs about the same cost as a Norton Co. download?:@

p.s. On my old p.c. we had Kaspersky but Norton seems to run very well.
  • Even if you do decide to buy the CD, it will immediately download a full update anyway after you install, so you won't really be saving any download time.

    Hopefully their software reminded you and you didn't click on a link in an email. Hope you got the real thing! :E

    X-2, mine was good to download to two other computers as well.

  • I've been using downloaded Kaspersky for years; Norton should be no different. Pretty much all the software I've bought in the past several years has been downloaded.
  • I always feel better having a hard copy laying around. However, on the laptop I use AVG free loaded off the internet. Been working well for years.
  • Hi,

    You can upgrade directly from your PC via Norton's website. This seems to work well for me.

    For a new program, downloading a large megabyte file requires a lot of time if done on a slow internet connection, but modern high speed connections can take less time than driving to the store, so go for it. Yet if on a slow connection, the DVD is much faster, and more accurate, no need to upload twice.
