This will not surprise anyone who knows about computer

How in the name of Hell and of every variety of evil did Norton Antivirus ever become the best-selling commercial protection software? The damned thing is as damaging as the viruses it's supposed to fight. It has just caused me the most elaborate and unmanageable computer crash I have ever seen, which even led to me being physically injured (as I was removing the battery and the power cable, the only way I could see to shut the machine down, it fell over straight on my ankle, where it cut right into the flesh). To misquote the old song, Norton is a moron.

Norton is insidious. Hopefully they will have been stamped out before your grandchildren arrive. One generation having to deal with the Norton menace should be enough for the world to learn the lesson.
