Bloat was only 1 issue.
Getting new programs 'Network access' was always a pain

I was trying to get a striped RAID running on XP. Norton shut down my A/V with a recent PAID Subscription. The license clearly stated 'Single system'. No mention on how many tries on that system. They would not reinstate.

Yellow boxes WILL NO Longer be purchased in my house.

I am not adverse to paying for A/V (or other reasonably priced tools). The problem (IMHO) is the paid versions are all BLOATED with extra stuff.
