			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Norton anti-virus sucks, and the world despises it. Why is it around&nbsp;? Because Compaq bundles it with their PCs. Geek Squad at Best Buy hands it out to old ladies who can&#8217;t even get their monitors on. With the history laid, here are the top twenty reasons why the world despises Norton&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.dtgeeks.com/index.php/blogs/comment/20_reasons_the_world_hates_norton_anti_virus/">original article</a> has been dugg and is completely down for the moment, so here is a copy&nbsp;:<br />
<blockquote>20. Having to type in your serial number while installing, and then activate it within 20 days of installation.<br />19. When Norton corrupts downloading files.<br />18. When Norton uninstalls its self because a virus threatened it.<br />17. The stupid task bar tool bar thing that has pop-ups the size of greater Atlanta.<br />16. The live update reminders.<br />15. The CPU and RAM consuming virus scans.<br />14. Its inability to delete any virus, even ones that a three-year-old wrote.<br />13. How it re-adds its self to your computers start up list.<br />12. When it says you have spyware on your computer, then does nothing.<br />11. How when it quarantines a virus, it copies it to the folder.<br />10. If you use it to delete adware it changes your homepage and locks it.<br />9. After using Norton to delete spyware it tells you that you have to re-install it to open Microsoft Word.<br />8. The virus definitions in a Mexican health clinic are more up to date than Norton’s.<br />7. Norton is over hyped and over-priced.<br />6. Requires a subscription every year.<br />5. On any operating system other than XP if your computer gets a virus Norton’s only defense is to initiate “the blue screen of doom”<br />4. If it comes bundled with a computer and you don’t run thorough set up it will pop back up every time you log in.<br />3. It tried to tell me that dtgeeks was giving me a virus.<br />2. The latest version blocks ports that are critical to 99.9% of Internet gaming connections.<br />And now for the number one reason why Norton is despised worldwide:<br />1. Because after you realize Norton is crap. You will also find the folder is missing the uninstaller, just like many kinds of adware.</p></blockquote>
