I've just removed Norton Internet Security 2008 from my laptop - a 3-
month trial came free with it. I never had any intention of paying
for it because I've had bad experiences with several versions of
Norton Anti-Virus before but I wish I'd decided to remove it earlier.
I've had two problems which I realised were due to it: I couldn't add
search providers to IE7 unless I disabled UAC - as soon as I
uninstalled NIS, it worked as designed. Also, I couldn't install
Citrix Presentation Server, not even if I disabled UAC. What a load
of junk!
