So to you I will simply say "Get Screwed!" Is that clear enough? I purchased the PC in September of last year after a lightening strike. I was already running McAfee on the damaged PC, so I very deliberately uninstalled Norton because I knew McAfee was going to require removal anyway. This morning, when I booted up, I had a brand new Norton Icon on the desktop and a new entry in my start up menu. I uninstalled both. Ten minutes later Norton was preparing to scan my machine from a dialogue panel that had no minimize or close options. I did, again, uninstall from another new start up menu entry and got the application stopped. I don't know if this new Norton intrusion has been lurking since I uninstalled in September; or if it came into my PC recently. Either way it was unwanted and non-professional. When I uninstalled it six months ago that should have been a pretty clear indication that we didn't need it. Much like I didn't need your smart-assed, repetitive comment regarding my writing ability. Now if that wasn't clear I can get more clear. So there! RonB |
