Two ways, the easiest is to right click on the norton tray icon and select check for new version,

Alternatively you could uninstall norton and log in to you norton account and download it again, the norton downloader will download the latest version. But I think you may actually have the latest, as it has been out for a month

then you would have to download it from my account, and when you run the norton downloader , when its ready to install the product , cancel the install and look for the folder on your desktop. the folder will be called norton installation files. and the exe in it is called

NSBU-ESD-22.8.0.50-EN.exe

You have to manually update to Norton Security at:

Norton Update Center

you will continue to get updates for your current products as long as they remain supported, which i think is 4 or 5 years. (Based on NIS 2006 still receiving definition updates in 2010)
