Perhaps the worst malware in history..
-
I just ordered an extremely expensive laptop. It is by far the most expensive computer I ever bought. I need it for a special business project.
Anyway.. when I first turned it on, it asked me a few questions, and after about 30 minutes I was able to use the computer.
When I started installing software onto this new system, I got quite a shock. It has NORTON pre-installed.. and Norton not only thinks that every EXE file that didn't come from Microsoft is a virus.. it goes and deletes that file without even asking!
The first thing I tried installing was software I have used on hundreds of computers over the last 30 years! There is no way that is a virus. I've tried many other anti-virus, anti-malware programs such as Avast, McAfee, System Mechanic, NOD32, and all the big ones. NEVER has that program been tagged as a virus.I would HIGHLY recommend that if you have anything related to Norton or Symantec on your computer.. GET RID OF IT.
Windows OWN anti-malware is pretty good these days. What happens is.. Symantec PAYS computer resellers to pre-install their Norton crap on your computer - which is extremely difficult to get rid of - and then when the license expires, it nags you to death to renew your subscription. Mcfee also does this, but at least McAfee doesn't destroy your computer in the process. McAfee is often supplied for free by your cable TV / Internet provider.
