Remove Norton serial code

My previous subscription to Norton 360 expired, so I got a new one. The problem is that the previous one has been logged somewhere on my computer, because when I try to re-install it doesn't ask me for a serial code and just ends up expired.
So how do I delete it and use my new one?

Ask their tech support.

Why the fuck would you want to use Norton?

What do you recommend for:
AntiVirus
Spyware
Disc Defragmentation
Cleanup
etc.
???

kernel.org

Check out some of the alternatives.

Listen to >>5 and fucking learn to use computers correctly.

You won't be needing any of these.

My ~/incoming has 10% fragmentation ;__;

/r/ on-line defragmentation patch for ext3.

1) backup the files
2) delete the files from the computer
3) restore the backup
4) computer is defragmented

Ah, the Linux solution.

You must be one of the morons that let their file systems get more than 70% full, so it's your own fault.

>fucking learn to use computers correctly.

1) Filesystems actually get a performance BENEFIT from mild fragmentation.  10-20% is actually prefered in many situations to 0%.  15% is considered a sweet spot.  lrn2/diskgeometry/

2) Modern filesystems (e.g. anything in use today besides FAT and NTFS) handle fragmentation intelligently.  Besides being able to PLAN where to put chunks, they can defrag files on the fly.  Mild fragmentation is a nonissue and will work itself out "naturally".  A modern filesystem (again, basically anything but FAT and NTFS, ext3 included) should NOT be defragmented manually.

3) You must be one of the morons that fail to utilize their resources efficiently.

For the record, my /home filesystem is a 2TB XFS RAID.  It currently has *17MB* free and has been at less than 5GB for almost two months now (four more disks are in the mail, though :D).  Fragmentation is only at 12%.

LOL HE'S STILL USING NORTON

Even if you insist on using your joke of an OS, Norton is probably the worst ``solution'' for any of those ``problems'' available.

For antivirus, use something like AVG, and quit sucking at using the internet. That last part is particularly important. The last time I had a virus I was still sharing a computer with my parents.

For spyware, something like Ad-Aware or Spybot S&D, and again, quit sucking.

For defragmentation, use a real filesystem. Alternatively, DEFRAG.EXE. There's a reason it comes with the OS.

Et fucking cetera.

But really, just install Ubuntu or something. Or get a fucking Mac.

You seem to confuse the intended file system fragmentation that ext2/ext3 do vs actual file fragmentation which is unwanted. Not writing multiple files strictly sequentially is often beneficial in the long run, true. Because it helps prevent actual fragmentation of single files. Which in turn is bad because that file cannot be read sequentially anymore. Seek times add up and reduce the overall throughput.

The point in not letting your file system get overly full is that at some point, the intended file system fragmentation that ext2/3 do cannot prevent file fragmentation any more. These file systems are quite smart when it comes to preventing file fragmentation but there are physical limits to this. So again it comes down to the user not being a moron.

If I have to keep my HD half full then the solution is a non-solution.

CA internetsecurity suite. They bought tinyfirewall which was the best security solution pre-vista. It includes AV, FW and malware shit.
You can download the 2007 Security suite on your local warez page.
For defragmentation use O&O defrag.

You do not have to. It just keeps file fragmentation at a minimum. Above about 70-80% that can't be guaranteed any more and you might start loosing performance. Maybe even 90%, depending on what kind of files you're dealing with.

I wouldn't let a very busy file server get more than 70-80% full in any case. I've seen the system load (IO as well as CPU) reach high levels much more often at that point, which hadn't been a problem at lower space usage.

>>16
I see. I stand corrected. :)

You are all idiots. A guy asks for a bit of help and you don't know the answer so you slate him for using a perfectly reasonable product!

In a vast majority of the computers that I fix, any post year 2000 Norton products are a major cause of resource drainage. They are a parasite upon the failures of the Windows technical design failures.
