- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+160Its a virus that is so hard to remove that they had to make a special program to remove all traces of Norton from your system. In about half the cases I have seen, Uninstall simply does not work.

- moojj, on 10/11/2007, -3/+130Very clever, I love this!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+120Symantic has deals with Intel and AMD to slow down processors, so you always buy a faster one.
- morgrar, on 10/11/2007, -1/+77Wait, you guys use virus scanners?
- reddevil3, on 10/11/2007, -3/+77Am I the only one who thinks that all these virus companies out there create at least some of the actual viruses (or get somebody to create them?) I mean they do want to be kept in business...
/puts tinfoil hat on - DeusNova, on 10/11/2007, -1/+59Anyone with those computer specs are smart enough not to use Norton hopefully.
- centinall, on 10/11/2007, -2/+60Two things that I've noticed when the subscription ends:
1) suddenly your computer slows down dramatically!!!
2) suddenly it starts warning you about all these potential viruses it's found. - Nerfdude, on 10/11/2007, -6/+62people still use norton? this is like somebody saying they still use limewire. time to move on, this isn't 2002 anymore.
- andregriffin, on 10/11/2007, -7/+61AVG 4 Life.

- Chazx, on 10/11/2007, -1/+35Common sense and the know-how beats any virus scanner.
Actually I have kaspersky installed but not set to load on boot. If I ever need anything scanning I'll just load it up and scan it quickly. Best of both worlds. It's been a long time since I got infected. - doshindude, on 10/11/2007, -4/+37So, Norton=the mafia.
Hate to see what McAfee is. - Easty, on 10/11/2007, -0/+28@Cl1mh4224rd
Yeah, that's what he WANTS you to think. - pixelate, on 10/11/2007, -0/+24Norton Antivirus, AOL, geocities all in the same thread.
This page is like a time machine. - markormesher, on 10/11/2007, -1/+24the Irish gangs

I thought i was the only one that went through that hell. I used to work in support and would have to uninstall Norton Internet from people's computers because it taxed the crap out of their computers and blocked everything
Norton's little uninstaller tool required ALL norton programs be uninstalled, so it would remove PC Anywhere, ghost, everything.
HUGE pain in the ass - cryptomystic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19NOD32 is so much better then Norton's it's not even funny..
- Jo9100, on 10/11/2007, -5/+24eh... I DO use limewire... whats the matter?
anyway... NOD32FTW ! - ih8apple, on 10/11/2007, -7/+25Paranoid much?
- mortigon, on 10/11/2007, -3/+21Free AVG FTW!!!!
- gutistg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17Pime Taradox!
- hawk3ye, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15Norton 2003 will make that processor feel like a P4. They got it right on their NOrton 360 releases but still damage has been done. NOD32 is nice, consider it.
- strafefire, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15Thank goodness for Avast and AVG
Giggity! - GyroLC, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15Free.
- po43292, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14Their Ghost software is the only good thing they've made.
- djSyndrome, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11No *****.
- timo1023, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10I feel sorry for the poor soul who had to run Norton to get the screenshot.
- superyounan1, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12me too, no more living in fear or sacrificing half my memory on huge programs that constantly scan everything i do
- gungaroo22, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Too bad Blizzard decided to end that project.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11@crushfan
19999? yep, i guess it will happen eventually. - duhblow7, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10There's no need. There's enough of an incentive to write a virus these days that companies don't need to do it themselves. Most infected computers are being used to; spam, popups, adware installs, etc. There are some people getting damn rich off of this.
- strictnein, on 10/11/2007, -6/+15"It's been a long time since I got infected."
You've been infected? I haven't, but I'm just a lame ass who runs antivirus on my systems. - tb0n3r, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11@digitallysick
Viruses. *Not* virii. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural_of_virus - mash8591, on 10/11/2007, -6/+15naaah AVAST M'HEARTIES!
(http://www.avast.com/) - Xplorer, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Ghost was purchased.....
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Wait, you BUY the uninstaller!?
- lozzd, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Don't worry AffanJam, I know what you mean. You're talking about SYMANTEC corporate edition, not Norton. Same company, corporate edition is great, with no stupid gimicky stuff to slow your computer down, Norton blows.
- Maeser, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7@dabellah
Actually, there is. I wrote it.

This isn't some viral attempt, I have no google ads on my site. I'm just trying to get my name out there. It really does work. - DamageInc, on 10/11/2007, -5/+12NOD32 ftw.
- duhblow7, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Better trained users goes WAY further than a virus scanner, adware remover, etc. Most viruses that people get infected with won't be picked up by a virus scanner, so long as the payload was packed correctly making all this software that f*cks your computer meaningless.
- RevEng, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7In that case, let me just trade you for this 4GB drive I have here. Oh, what's that, your computer doesn't run so well anymore?
- msgyrd, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7I run linux and OSX exclusively, no need.
/puts on the flame retardant jacket - abhiroop, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7@aegisgfx (#7311249)
Even Mcaffee is crazy to uninstall.
They have a complete separate program that you have to buy to uninstall it, and to do a complete reinstall its better just to format your computer - takes less time. - ultrafez, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Try Kaspersky. It's not a memory hog, and is easy to get rid of if you want to.
Now I could have thought of some Soviet Russia jokes to put in there, but something tells me I'd get seriously dugg down if I did... - fubes2000, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5The beauty of open source software like linux is that even if a virus were written for a particular distribution, there are not only dozens of other distributions that would likely be unaffected, but thousands of programmers who can jump in at a moment's notice and patch the vulnerability the virus exploits.
Maybe pull your head out of... the clouds and read up a little before you comment. - dacheetah, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6When was the last time a prostitute was free?
