Its bloody awful. Its dire. And I personally have had to mend computers 'infected' with it in double figures now.
This is given away with almost every PC, and recommended by many 'experts'.
It blocks things without even telling you, for example a vodafone mobile PMCIA card. It said it was connected, working fine, but nothing on web pages. Course, disable Norton and it works.
Did you know it even restricts you from pinging? Although in this case it did ask if it needed to be unblocked!
Im almost in compter expert territory, but not quite. And even I find it hard to use, especially when it blocks things without telling you.
And yes, its still has elements that wont uninstall.
Makes me so angry that its always recommended, when its crap. And the virus detection isnt even that great, especially compared to something like NOD32.
I ended up uninstalling it, and putting avast (free!) on there.
Rant over. Grrrr.
