Symantec Corp-Norton anti-good for nothing
they can lick my ballls.............so yesterday my comp starts to act very werird slow as ---- taking 5 min to open a program, so i run a virus scan nothing came up so i was like ok....then i get a message later that i have a trojen virus so i was like ---- ill will do another scan and it finds like 200 errors so it said all problems fixed i was like good, then i re-start my laptop again and the ---- is running even slower so i do a system re-store with norton go back.........well thats when ---- hit the fan and almost my lap-top.......sorry no previous dates were saved....i was like wtf i did one about 3 months ago wtf is the problem...then i try windown system recovery it gets to about 50% completion and it freezes so i tried it again at a diff date same thing happens...so now im getting ready to throw this bitch out the window,
so 2day i try do a couple things to it, and it dose nothing i can only see my wall paper thats it nothing else comes up...so i hit ctrl alt-delete and luckly it brings up the task manager so i try to start Norton again and it said system fail please re-start...i re-start and do it all over again and the same things happens........................................... ...........so when i leave work today im going have to do wipe the whole comp clean and start all over again
..........there go's all my ---- for school,all my autocad drawings for my portfoilo................... :1 :1
so what have i learned?
1. dont pay ------ $80 for a peice of ---- software that hogs up your comp and dont run right.......
2. dont keep every important file on my HD..
3. dont wait to the last min to finish a project that is do 2morrow and the files i need is in photshop...
end of rant...........

It's common knowledge than Norton is the most bloated antivirus software out there and can cause a ton of problems.
I've used many other programs and can tell you that Kaspersky and AVG are the best. I use AVG right now.

Re: Symantec Corp-Norton anti-good for nothing
you prolly didnt have system restore activated
also norton sucks unless you keep everything up to date... and even then its not fool proof
fool proof 80% of the time = hijackthis + diskclean up + bug off + spybot s&d
fool proof 100% of the time = leeeenux
