That may be one reason why Norton products get so much bad press on these
newsgroups; not so much because of the actual product, although previous
versions of Norton haven't been worth recommending, but of the company
Symantec itself.
I've said on many occasions that when Norton Anti Virus, et al were part of
the Norton company then the product was the 'bee all and end all' It was the
de-facto application recommended by the vast majority of people (This is in
the days of Win 95 etc). When Symantec took over the product went steadily
downhill, but then the same thing happened when they took over Powerquest;
their flagship application, Drive Image' certainly took a nose dive.
It looks as if its a case of 'originally a goods product, just wrong
company.'
