Norton Security Scan is a Piece of Shit!

The following is my opinion:

Norton Security Scan is MALWARE!!!

This piece of shit software continues to install itself on my PC.

Ever since the Norton tools were bought by Symantec, they have sucked ass and I would never install, nor would I ever recommend anyone install, one of their products.....

They claim to be a security company, but thats just a ruse.....

I don't appreciate your ruse, ma'am.

INDECISIVE CUSTOMER
I beg your pardon!

Your ruse. Your cunning attempt to
trick me.
If their product weren't malware, then why shouldn't I be able to uninstall via Control Panel, or an UNINSTALL program?

This goddamn Security Scan piece of shit is the worst!

I've uninstalled it like 3 times in the past 4 months.

This is what I've done tonight:

Unistalled the piece of shit
Created a c:\Norton Security Scan directory
Left it empty, and made it READ ONLY
Lets see if it installs itself again......

I went through this shit; Imagine this...I uninstalled the crap the "Windows way" through add/remove programs and it appeared to succeed, but upon attempt to install a competitor's product was told that Symantec was still present and had to be removed first. That's when I learned of the removal tool. Their removal tool website expects you to know what product you want to remove. Well, I had uninstalled the original product years earlier and there was certainly no record of what it was, so I had to try each removal tool link available after taking an educated guess.

Chill out dude, seriously. You should save some money to get Norton 360 v.3. Looking forward to your review post. LOL! (Serious!)
