Title: A Word of Warning

Never try to uninstall Norton.

If you come across a computer that has it, just turn it off and ignore it.

It is for the best.

I've tried two different Norton deinstallations, both from relatively okay systems.

It broke my computer installation both times, for no reason.

The first one is an interesting story, I'll probably tell it sometimes.

Just some bad luck
What kind of machines you using?

Standard Windows Home.

Not hacked or anything.

For some reason though, Norton hates 'em.

If you fuel your furnace with paper money just because you can, you probably do not need anti-virus. For the rest of us...
