    nortons 2005 is fairly outdated and more than likely no longer supported by nortons it self.my advice would be to completely remove the product and install a more up to date antivirus software.there are plenty of good freeware antivirus programs available that will give you good protection with out the cost and the bother of manually downloading updates.to remove nortons from your computer use this tool " http://majorgeeks.com/Norton_Removal_Tool_SymNRT_d4749.html ".before you remove nortons check out the freeware antivirus programs here " http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads29.html " the ones with hot beside them are major geeks top freeware programs,avg or avast seem to be the most popular. hope this helps good luck. if you have more questions just post back and someone will help you more.
