    ...and the funny thing is that I activated it okay earlier this week...

    First MS WGA flags my Vista installation a few months ago (legit key too!) and now Norton flags me on my new PC as I was just setting it up (with another legit key!!!).

    Does anyone else have a problem right now too???

    Had the exact same thing happen to me on two different machines. It is an annoying bug.

    Norton isn't what it was 5 years ago...

    I'm using NIS since 3 years and that's the best AV I've used so far

    I've been using NOD32 for the past 2 years, and after having NIS on my computer for 3 years, I'm sure glad I switched! Saved about a month of my life just waiting for the computer to boot up.
