Anti-Virus software question
 

I know this is a pretty basic question but I have never dealt with it and so I am a little usure. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
I have a friend who wants to install anti-virus protection on his 3 computers at his work. I don't know much about the network he has set up there, but assuming his internal network is based off from a dynamic ip - is it possible to just go out and buy Norton and install the same copy on all 3 computer stations. I guess my question is will Norton allow updates from multiple machines or will he have to look at some kind of liscencing - and if so what kind of expense might this be. Thanks for your help in advance.

Just to clarify - I am not looking to pirate any software or do anything illeagal like that - I am just interested on how I would install an anti-virus program on 3 different staions assuming they're sharing the same Internet connection and what kind of cost might this incur.
Thx.

Actually, unless you buy 3 copies of norton, or a corporate license, you are talking about pirating.

I'm not sure of the going rate for Norton, but buying 3 copies instead of a corporate is probably going to be cheaper.

Alternativly, you could use a free software such as AVG. The downside to the free services is that most of them do not update their definitions as often as the fee based services.

That's kinda what I thought. Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks for the correction Speed_Gibson

glad to help, I seriously doubt that any anti-virus program that works decently will be free for coporate use. Main issues in that environment tend to be performance, vendor stability, and support rather than cost.
edit: I would choose AVG or Kaspersky in the coporate locale over Norton and McAffee anytime.

I use norton here and haven't had a problem with them at all.

For the longest time I didn't have any antivirus software installed on my home computer but instead used Housecall once or twice a week and don't remember ever getting a virus that caused any damage.

It's a free online scanner and you can put it on as many computers as you want. It's updated regularly enough and corporate-quality as far as I'm concerned. My only complaint is that because of its online nature, it can't Quarantine, but it's cleaned everything it's ever found just fine. Give it a shot!
