it was such an utterly shit product.. my main purpose in life is now to get as many people as possible to uninstall Norton.

you have to admit, that's effective protection right there. A bit like protecting someone from falling over by breaking both their legs.

I used to recommend Norton to all my clients. I think it was the 2006 version that completely fucked a bunch of them over, and I felt obligated to help clean up the mess since I'd recommended it. It's a piece of shitful system-crushing bloatware.

I had it for 2 weeks and got rid of it.
But the old Symantec Corporate, which I have had on my computer since I got it, is absolutely brilliant! About a year after I got the computer, I suddenly remembered that I had never installed any anti-virus software and thought fuck! Then, as I was installing something or another, it said I already had one running.
