Norton SystemWorks 2006

[NortonClassAction]

I am curious to how many people in the world have had their computer completly taken over by Norton? I now cannot boot my computer and I am loosing money because I can't work and I'm paying somebody to fix the problem.

1. 2006 Norton Software $89.00 plus tax (Canadian Funds)

2. Loss of hours for my business. at least 16 hours. and my rate is $30.00 an hour.

I'm only trying to understand why and how a company can get away with selling you a product that is for Windows XP and in turn the software conflicts with your machine, wrecks your hard drive and now time and money is lost. I can't call anyone to complain, because nobody works for Norton accept a computer. I thought we lived in a nation that was proud of their product and would help out the customer if he or she is in need. Instead I give away my money and make "whomever" richer.

I'm curious to know the amount of people who's computer gets affected by this. I think think the numbers would be staggering!

I feel like this company has taken full advantage of consumers by selling them a product they say works very well. But instead ruins your computer and your work.

Please email me with your information and I am going to keep a file together because I want to organize a class action lawsuit on running a business in an unprofessional manner. Or post your thoughts on this site. I've come to the conclusion that I am going to download one of those free antiviruses and every year around this time I am going to send Norton $100.00 just for the hell of it because that is exactly what I do anyways.

Is this right?

Is this how our nation is going?

When was it okay to sell bunk product to people?

Was there a law passed I missed saying it's okay to rip people off?

It's disgusting really.

I understand your pain. For a long time I tought that, having the computer full of Anti-Virus and all these "great" aplications was the best solution.

I dont know about Norton 2006, I stoped using it in 2001 (If I remeber right), and never touched an Anti Virus again.

Best pratices, are having the OS cut down to the bone and use freeware apps that do, ONLY what theyr suposed to do.

As long as we keep things clean and organized, I dont see the need of using aplications full of bloat like Norton.

Judging by your name and your post you have a different agenda and you should take it some other place than MSFN.
