papadak, it would be better to start your own thread than jump onto someone else ... your setup is probable different from michael555's

However ... Norton's

Installation now includes a product-activation scheme that the company hopes will keep illegal copying of its software under control. This requires you to connect with a server at Symantec to get an activation code to use NAV. Activation is anonymous, and registration is not required. You can reinstall as many times as you like on the same machine, and you have the flexibility to upgrade to a newer machine without buying a new copy.

If your having problems with Norton either re-activate or re-install.

Can't help with BitDefender, never used it. I was an avid Norton AV fan, but I will be changing to KAV when my Symantec Subscription runs out.
