I'm with you though about the Norton branded products - their personal firewall was awful.


It's hard to imagine Norton making anything that *isn't* awful (well, other than Ghost).

Even removing Norton's crap is a hassle - I've literally seen the uninstall process for their "Internet Security Suite" take an hour and 45 minutes (during which the computer couldn't be used at all, because uninstalling required a reboot & the uninstall process loaded *before* / outside of Windows for some reason).
