Bin tryin to contact Symantec for 2 days now. Their phones don't answer.
They don't answer email. Their computers dont recognise your paid up. Their
software wont allow it. Their site software tells you you have a virus but
their own software installed on the pc says there isn't. As far as I'm
concerned Symantec can go die - yes thats DIE.
As they create the market they supply products for - they probably won't.
