the egg is now in a nest made of shitty swords and soft puppet ass

NORTON ANTIVIRUS 2005 = BLOATED PIECE OF CRAP

I've seen it run (or attempt to run) on six machines now.

Of those six, one was rendered unusable by the software. Of course, it was a P1-166, so I don't count that one. (Incidentally, Symantec claims that all you need for a 98 box is a P1-133. Can you say "bullshit?" I knew you could.)

But of the remaining five, ALL of them met or exceeded Symantec's alleged "minimum system requirements" for the damn thing (well, okay, the P1 did too, but I still don't count it). Two of them were P4's, 2.6GhZ+.

One was a big badass box that gritted its little teeth and ran the son of a bitch at a somewhat acceptable speed.

Two of the remaining four dragged ass. Horribly. One, sitting behind me right now, is a pretty new Gateway laptop trying its damndest to start up. It's a Celeron, yes, and it just skates into the RAM requirement, yes, but it's way above and beyond the required 300MhZ CPU. It takes a solid ten minutes to start Auto-Protect. I shit you not. Ten minutes.

The remaning two simply threw up their hands and said oh, fuck this shit and refused to run it.

I actually went so far as to stomp into Boss #1's office and declare that there was no way in hell I was selling NAV2005, because my conscience would not allow me to accept money in exchange for it.

I used to hate AVG and love Norton. Now it's the other way around.
