64.2% of 'facts' are made up.

I consider having to pay for Norton software to be a crime.

I've not allowed any Norton/Symantec software near my computers since I
moved on from Win98. Be it free or otherwise.
When a company has to issue software to remove their own crud, that's
the time to give it a wide berth.

I understand where you are coming from in that regard!

So with what 'protection' do you feel happy? MSE?
