You can count on that letter having already passed
through the Symantec Letter Shredder. (No, that's not
one of their utilities.) <g>

My parents got a new computer, and I
apparently damaged the Norton (symantec)
antivirus program. While trying to reinstall
I spoke with their call center three times,
and I was unable to enter the key code they
had in a new downloaded program. So I had
to get the new updated version for year 2007.
Because my mom insisted upon it.

I wrote a detailed letter to the President of
Symantec and never received a reply. I guess
I should write the board members and let them
know how f-ed up their authenication system
is. I had a valid key code that I had downloaded
FROM THE NORTON WEBSITE but the program
said it was only valid for the fifteen day trial.

Next time I am home, I'm gonna delete the f-ing
program from the computer and buy them
a year's worth of AVG..

My advice: Do NOT buy Norton, there
is NO competent customer support. I
could never understand what the
****ing Pakis were saying from their
****ing indian call center.

Try AVG antivirus http://www.grisoft.com/
They even have a free version. Do NOT
USE NORTON, it slows your computer
down terribly.

Your mom would do well to keep you far away from her computer. Oh, and
in case you weren't aware, the President of Symantec doesn't give two
shits about what you think.

You think Norton is bad, try the new OneCare. I still can not get it
activated. I was interested in the items other than the AV. ANd I can not
see w ay to turn the AV off. It seems all linked together.
More, and more problems.
