Norton & Windows: You both suck!

Sod it! Well after last weeks fiasco I was more than a little pissed off when I turned my laptop on this morning and found out that it was October 5th 2010 and as a result, my Norton 360 subscription had expired…. again.

I did a quick system restore to try and fix it which did nothing (thanks Microsoft) and then a quick removal and reinstall of Norton after deleting some of the registry which did nothing (thanks Symantec).

I really can’t be arsed to do any more than that today so I’m unistalling it and shoving a copy of AVG Free on there (you get a link since you’re the only competent company mentioned so far). I had a realllly half arsed attempt to find out what could be causing the time change as the fact it was Monday morning again is a bit too coincidental. The only thing I had in my Scheduled tasks is the Apple update thing.

I’ve deleted that now since the version of Quicktime I have is annoying enough so I’ll give it a few weeks and see if we end up in the future again. If not, you’re on my list of companies to destroy Apple!
