If you have it on a cd, go ahead and install it. It may have a license number
with it. Be sure to bring it along.
Make sure you uninstall the present one first, reboot and then install Norton.
After any required reboots, use the live-update feature to bring it up-to-date.
Norton, in my opinion, gets a worse rap than it really deserves.
I don't know all of what is involved in the Norton Internet Security package,
but if it includes a Norton Firewall, and you uninstall it, be sure to enable
the one in WinXP, if that is the OS she is using.
Otherwise you can use one of the free firewalls that are available.
Another thought is that MS offers a free one year trial of an EZtrust (I think
that's right) security package which includes a firewall and anti-virus.
