I've had my first "I AM VERY CRANKY" incident with my laptop. It came pre-installed with Norton. Well, I don't want to use Norton since I get McAfee free with my ISP. So I uninstalled Norton.

WINDOWS 7: *CRASHES AND BURNS*

Me: Wut?

It wouldn't even load - had to go into Safe Mode and recover. Only thing...it didn't really recover Norton. Not really. So it's not on my computer but it is, I can't uninstall it and I can't install McAfee. I've even got a Norton Uninstall Program from their website, which works, but the second I reboot my computer, Windows CRASHES AND BURNS.

I hate you.

I thought I had uninstalled Norton once but I don't think it worked because every now and then I get a message asking me to Activate and I just close it now.

Good luck getting rid of it.

I have now decided Norton is evil and I will never use it for the rest of my life.

MacAfee and me don't like each other. After letting a subscription expires - and not signing up for a renewal, I was fine for a year - then it auto renewed me for a service I didn't have, I called and fixed it. That was over 4 years ago - December's Amex bill? Renewal from MacAfee. Ugh. Pain in the ass.

Personally, on my pc I have Kaspersky. Love it.

BAH! That is totally annoying. McAfee comes with my ISP, so I don't have do deal with their billing.
