Norton doesn't work because you have to subscribe to get virus updates. Subscribing is kinda expensive, and noone does it.

Um, it should have worked last night, the 3rd, which was my last system scan. The renew date was today. Additionally, one of the viruses, the seventh one now, Trojan.byteverify is listed as a NOTRAN detected virus and should have been cleaned regardless. Simply put Nortan does not work as advertised, and they cheat you out of at least two days worth of updates at the end of your subscription.

So now do I have to worry that Nortan will not work at all? Will not scan for viruses even though it says its doing so, or scan my incoming emails? This is bull**** if you ask me!

God I wish there was legislation in action that would FORCE companies like Nortan and MS to fix these problems, and make them liable for any issues caused because of their lacking software and over hyped abilities.
