    NORTON AV ???

    I would NEVER install that sh1t onto any machine I build....

    Take it and bury it deep in the garden then spit on the ground and stamp on it it with big boots and scrape the floor like a dog would after it has, well you know.

    even all that is too good for Norton...

    Stop him before it's too late !!!!!!

    Do you know it's a real shame the products still use the name Norton, considering the original developer (Peter Norton) was genius. Now his name will forever be associated with this piece (or rather two pieces) of poo.

    I guess the product is poo because it is so bloated?.. Honestly it seemed to fend off hacking attacks (spyware) when i tried to infect a computer once. But i am pretty novice to hacking.
