Norton AntiVirus 2012 1User [Download] Overview

Ranked #1 in both protection and performance, Norton Antivirus provides powerful protection against viruses and spyware, without disrupting your work and play.

To begin with the process, you must first gather the necessary data for searching online, which is the IDs of your hardware device. The IDs are vital for you to download the compatible device driver for your hardware. To gather this data follow the following steps:

For Windows XP:

1. Click "Start Button"
2. Right click "My Computer"
3. Click "Manage"
4. Click "Device Manager"
5. Right click the "unknown device" or "any hardware device you want to update"
6. Click the "Details" tab
7. From the drop-down list select "Device Instance ID"

For Windows Vista or Windows 7:

1. Click "Windows Button"
2. Right Click "Computer"
3. Click "Manage"
4. Click "Device Manager"
5. Right click the "unknown device" or "any hardware device you want to update"
6. Click the "Details" tab
7. From the drop-down list select "Device Instance Path"

You need to gather your hardware Device ID and the Vendor ID from the provided alphanumeric data. Here is one example: PCI: VEN_8086&DEV_2668 &SUBSYS_818F1043&REV_053&11583659&0&D8. From our example, VEN_8086 stands for the Vendor ID = 8086 and DEV_2668 is the Device ID = 2668.

Now you can start searching online and one useful website is PCI database where you can choose either "Vendor Search" or "Device Search" to look for additional and useful information regarding your hardware device. Either of these IDs will lead you to the results having the additional information and if available, even the manufacturers' website of your device.

PCIdatabase will search for this information with two Search Options, the "Device Search" and the "Vendor Search". Using both of these Search Options will give you assurance and more precise results, such as using the option for "Vendor Search" and verifying the results by the "Device Search". Using the "Vendor Search" and the "Device Search", the results provided include information about the manufacturer of your hardware, name of your device, and website. In this example of VEN_8086 and DEV_2668, we get Intel Corporation as Vendor, 82801FB (ICH6) High Definition Audio Controller as the device, and downloadcenter.intel.com as website.

By visiting the provided URL address, you can now download the device driver. In some cases, the provided website address will not directly lead you to the download page; instead it will be the homepage of the hardware manufacturer. In such cases, you will need to search for the device driver of your hardware. You will need to choose the "Product Family", select "Product Line", "Product Name", "Operating System", "Download Type", and then select the best device driver that suits your hardware from the given choices. You may now download, run, and install the driver on your computer.
