thanks. I'm guessing the previous executable does not need to be installed?

Yes, don't waste your time with this beta release. It stops after 30 days adn then you don't have any anti-virus protection. Plus there is nothing great about Norton Anti-virus 2003 compaired to 2002.

Actually this post belongs in the beta software area.

correct me if im wrong but ive just installed this version and its allowed 1year subscription

i installed the "beta" version, then when i tried to install this version it asked me to remove the old version and has now allowed 1 year free?!?

subscription ends 8/8/2003

?!?

I installed the 2003 Beta that's been around awhile and it appeared to give me 1 year, but after a week or 2 I started getting a message that it had a limited life (forget the actual message), so immediately uninstalled and put 2002 back in.

Another thing. The Beta 2003 I tried worked fine on a Dell, but wouldn't work correctly on a Toshiba Satelite 5100. Wouldn't update on Norton's web site.

Because a lot of people want to have the latest release of their software.

Me too, I always opt for the "latest", but it seems to me that using beta versions for virus checking or firewalling is not a good idea unless on a specific test paritiion. but, point taken MinnesotaKid

Well the first beta ran fine for me. But now it expired and same with the second one.

Oh well 2002 pro is good enough for me.

cya,
