Ok, I have been a loyal Norton fan for a loooooong time. I remember using Norton Desktop on my Winders 3 installation and thinking it was amazing. I've many fond memories of how it enabled me to modify and improve my user experience (UX). However, I just don't think I want to use their products anymore.
I hear you asking why, and I am glad you are. Here's the why and also the wherefore. Never one to ignore a chance to speak, as many will tell you. I've add some severe issues with the last couple of installs (nothing too bad), I don't like the pricing structure (they want way too much, IMO), and most recently, the install/uninstall from the latest version of Internet Security has managed to break both my laptop and my fiance's computer. This is not good. I have spent hours attempting to resolve the issue with the laptop, but I can't seem to figure it out. I found orphaned services and all kinds of mess all over the place. Very unhappy with what was reported to be (by the software) a successful uninstall. I am sick of it, so I am going to hit the issue with a big hammer and reinstall the whole OS.
Really a pity, too, given my great history with the brand name.
