Here's One Customer They Can Kiss Goodbye
I switched to Norton from McAfee years ago, after some horrendous problem with McAfee. I liked Norton's product and the disk defrag feature.

However, I now use Diskeeper (an older version, company has been sold and not sure of the new folks). WinDoctor was a good product, too; but there are better, less-expensive programs that do the same thing (and defrag the registry). Now, the plan is to get a free AV program when my s'scription runs out. Have heard from several sources that their systems performed much better after Symantec/Norton was removed.

Hmmm. May not even wait until the s'scription's up.
