Good for Yama Tough for showing the world how inept Norton is at computer security.

Not to condone theft of IP, but maybe someone can now figure out what makes it darn near impossible to remove all traces of Nortons useless crapware from a PC!

Loaded NAV up once. Slowed my system down to a damned snails pace. Deleted it immediately....never again.

Crap. I have norton on my dell xps, today I shut the computer down, and it won’t start back up. It doesn’t get by the initial startup. I wonder if this is related...

It reduces victims of hacking by being such an annoyance that people shut their computers off and use the telephone.

Say what you will, but I generally leave my computers unprotected against the horrible outside world.

In general, it’s worked fine. I don’t open unknown attachments and I’m somewhat careful what sites I click to. I only pay with credit cards, knowing that a fake charge will be dealt with by the credit card, with little or no risk to me. One time, a non-computer savey friend picked up a a root kit. Yes, it was a pain to get rid of it (I needed a clean computer to advise me), but I did.

Other than no problems. My computers run MUCH FASTER without that garbage watching them.

Why?

Maybe someone can figure out how to actually uninstall it!

Maybe it's not a matter of poor security, it's H1B workers. Hundreds of thousands here.. some are bound to have ulterior motives.

I just hope that PC hasn't made it possible for them to work on our most valuable defense systems.. but certainly it appears that secrets are finding their way overseas.
