OT: What Should I Do?

Corporate editions are not in any way equivalent to consumer editions. You pay a lot more for the corporate licenses anyways...

My sister's computer came preinstalled with Norton. That was impossible to uninstall. Kept interfering with other anti-virus programs.

I have to say thank you to David. I took him up on the online scan recommendation and voila, six, count them six, virus hits for things that NORTAN should have detected and killed. SIX!

All of them should have been detected by NORTAN in my last scan which was this morning, but NO.... Nortan doesn't even work!

we ahve a total of three computers connected to the interent in my house, all of which run both Norton AV and internet security, professional edition. We have never had any problem with them or with updates. Though this may just be me...

On a side note, using the hacker tracker that come with Norton, my dad has found that Microsoft (and other large, presumably OK corporations) have tried to get into our computer. Not in the manner of dumping cookies but actually trying to access personall information.

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.

Try out Kaspersky...
