Installing only one Norton Anti-Virus for two machines

Unfortunately, not all the computers connected to your home network are protected if only one machine is installed with an antivirus. Any antivirus product is good only for one machine or device. If your home network has two computers, you need to install the antivirus program separately on each computer. Since you are using Norton antivirus, check that your license or subscription covers two or more devices.

If the subscription is for a single computer only, you cannot install it on the other machine. You can install the trial version but it will expire after some time. If you are fine with free antivirus programs, you can try one of these:

• Avast Free Antivirus – the latest version at the moment supports Windows XP Service Pack 3 (32-bit only), Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (except Starter edition), Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows 8.x (except RT and Starter edition), and Windows 10 both 32-bit and 64-bit. It requires Intel Pentium 4 with SSE2 support or equivalent AMD Athlon 64 or faster processor, 256 MB RAM, and 2 GB free space.
• Avira Free Antivirus – the latest version at the moment supports Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10. It requires 2 GB RAM and 2 GB free space.
