why I hate Norton and Symantec. On my old PC I'd been using a free version of AVG Antivirus, but my new PC came with a subscription to Norton Internet Security, so I've been using that instead and it's a real pain in the arse.
It has these Alerts that pop up to tell me "Hey, there's a problem. Do you want me to fix it?" So I click on Fix it.
A few second later an Alert pops up to tell me the problem is being fixed. I click on Close and the Alert disappears.
A few seconds later an Alert pops up to tell me the problem it told me about earlier is being fixed.
Ahh yeah, I know. I told you to fix it, and you've already alerted me that it's being fixed. Now, Close!
A few seconds later an Alert pops up. "Hey, you know that problem? We're fixing it."
Shut the fuck up!!! Just fix the damn problem and stop telling me you're fixing it!!!
A few seconds later an Alert pops up. "We fixed that problem we told you about."
Great. Now go away.
A few seconds later an Alert pops up. "Everything is working just fine now."
FUCK OFF!!!!!
I don't care that I have a free 1-year susbcription to Norton which is worth (if you can believe Symantec) about $60, or that AVG is now a pay-service, much like Norton, and costs about the same for a 1-year subscription. AVG was never this fucking annoying. I'm just about ready to uninstall Norton and forgo the 1-year subscription.
Why don't I close the program? Because if I do that, an Alert pops up telling me there's a problem that needs fixing. If I click Fix it, Norton starts everything back up again.
Now excuse me, but Norton is telling me I need to restart my PC or the world will be destroyed.
