So Long Norton AV!

Norton Anti-Virus has long been a thorn in my side. Its invasive, scan the fuck out of everything it sees, eat up memory, flag apps as viruses when they aren't, fight with my Autodesk copy protection system (cDilla) so that it fails and kill my systems performance operations were annoying enough, but now that my 1 year access is over and done with, its now decided to nag the fuck out of me in an attempt to squeeze more money out of me for this useless application.

Like a crack dealer trying to push his wares down onto the addicted, Norton AntiVirus popup reminders always come the most inopportune time (ie. Last night playing WoW while I was tanking the Baron for my group, it popped up and the delay that it caused resulted in my death and the near wipe of the group). Seriously I want to know who the hell was the crack monkey that decided that instead of popping up this warning when the PC loads, that hey should wait a random number of minutes and then nag the fuck out of you while you are doing your work or playing games.

I fully understand that I am paying for the knowledge that in theory my PC is protected from malicious shit, provided that Norton isn't weeks behind on ensuring that the latest virus definitions are up to date to whats out there in the wild (which they usually aren't). But c'mon, you honestly cannot tell me that Norton and McAfee haven't turned this into a profitable racket, so much so that they are bitching and whining about Microsoft actually wanting to overprotect Vista.

Sorry Norton, but I have had enough of your shit. Your Anti Virus is off of my system and I have switched to a better alternative, AVG.
