Nortons

I have Nortons 360 anti-virus on my PC which seems to work OK.

I am very much of the mindset that 'if it aint broke don't fix it' and am thoroughly fed up with the sales pitch for Nortons 'Ultimate' which they tell me will fix no end of (previously unknown) problems supposedly slowing my machine down - all for only a $A 1.00/week.

Needless to say I am/was totally unaware of the issues they highlight and don't understand what they are or what they do.

Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) with Nortons Ultimate, please?

Did it speed your PC up and do all the other wonderful things that it claims?

Any advice will be appreciated as I am scared to try it on the basis that 'if it aint broke don't fix it'.

YM I share your pain, well at least your misgivings about Norton. In their favour I have to say they have never taken money out of my account without going through an exhaustive sales pitch and then with my approval. One of their compeditor's acted as if we had a joint account.
Having paid my annual subscription I was secure for another year, hurray.
Woops a daisy, all of a sudden I have 41779 issues on my system including system junk, browser junk, broken registry items and shortcuts. As with Cruise Lines this is nickle and diming and I am pissed off.

ES, so we do share something in common after all!

My symptoms exactly.

All we need to do now is to wait for the computerised brains to tell us what to do next.
