You know... when I started in computing over 20 years ago, Norton's Utilities were known and trusted to be the best thing on the market for helping people with computer related issues. Now, I've never seen so much trouble spring from this software, absolute nightmare. People buy state of the art PCs and wonder why they're running like a ZX Spectrum, we'll it's because you've got Norton on your PC!!!!

Having great difficulty even downloading the removal tools....i swear if i cant fix this by Sat im buying Norton regardless of how bad it is to install which will overwrite the current one wont it?

I tried downloading Norton205 this time as a free trial. Thinking it would remove everything, it only removed what it put in, not the rest of crappy norton.
