Story: Norton AV flaw may put PCs at risk of virus attack

I think it's wrong that Norton just discard the Home User regarding the breach of security. Why should we have to suffer any attack. Norton seems to think that just because we are Home User's we are not as important as a business user. We pay Norton to PROTECT OUR COMPUTERS. Being Signed in as an Administrator or not, we still should get the protection that we pay for. I'm preety fed up with Companies we pay protection too, just constantly dismissing the type of Viruses. What should happen now is Business like Microsoft, Norton etc, she be made to give us the Client FREE PHONE ACCESS to be able to get problems that they seem to ignore, put right. I think I only have to mention Service Pact 2 (SP2), to get some peoples backs up. Yet when we get these problems we are supposed to pay through the nose to get our computers back on track again. This usually entails a Large Fee, beit Microsoft,Computer Shop or thwe HelpLine. I think that the people who FORCE Products onto us like SP2, and those people we pay Virus Protection too should be the ones to pay to get our computers back online again. I have Norton AntiVirus and Firewall. I kept getting Pop Ups that I was being attacke. I started to check variuos info pages on the net, and found an Article that said, these Virus and Firwall Protection Firms deliberately activate these Pop-Ups to make it look like they are doing their jobs, and that we should all Pat Them On The Back. Then we start reading articles from Sites like ZDnet THAT TELL THE TRUTH ONE EXACTLY WHAT's REALLY HAPPENING OUT THERE.
My advice to anyone who reads this write up is to GO TO THE ZDNET INFO PAGES FIRST BEFORE DOWNLOADING ANY PRODUCT, AND SEE WHAT ZDNET SAYS.
You won't go wrong then.
Great Stuff ZDnet. Some people thank God for things. I thank ZDnet as well.
