  NAV2004 is out, or due soon. I assume NIS2004 will be out soon also.
They include one year of subscriptions. It could be cheaper in the long
run.

  I did a check on Symantec's site, and it's screwed. If you click on 'Buy
Now' for any of the '04 products on this page:
http://www.symantec.com/product/index_homecomp.html
  it tells you they have been replaced with a newer version!!!
