Norton 2007 sucks!
Anyway, so as usual every year I bought my Norton and installed AND
registered it online in January. In February I changed my internet provider from Cablecom to Swisscom. (I'm a Brit living in Switzerland) Already in January this worm called Driveclean kept popping up and telling me that the "sex-pages" (like Shakespeare websites) I was loking at would leave traces on my PC, and should it scan, etc. Then a few days ago a window popped up saying User32.exe had been illegally transferred and was occupying another address, and my system wouldn't work, etc. All this time, my Norton Liveupdates were blithely telling me that my PC was absolutely healthy. (See how they lie to us - they lie!) So I googled and then got onto the Microsoft page which suplied a download patch to solve the User32.exe (which happens to be a Trojan) problem, downloaded it.... and now my Norton has shut down and told me my subscription had expired! So I deleted it from my PC and re-installed it yesterday, and it told me I had another 299 days to go... And today my PC was slow to start, had to re-start about 8 times, etc. and my Norton told me my subscription had expired completely. So I removed it and installed a different, free anti-virus programme and on Tuesday I'm going to take the Norton package back to the shop and I'd like to find those Symantic guys and fling the whole thing into their ugly faces. But of course they have no mail address and their telephone number apparently doesn't even work. And costs 16 Euros, the cheeky buggers! Instead of Easter-holidaying, I've spent a total of 8 hours trying to fix my PC. But otherwise, I'm fine. RT |

And how is this relevant to document management in Word?
