Fucking awesome

Wow.  That's insanely helpful.  Norton Systemworks 2006 automagically decides to flush your page view history in your browser for 'uncluttering your PC'.  And for someone, like me, that relies on it and has a few months worth of history selected intentionally, that means that suddenly, while the browser loads minutely faster, suddenly all my type ahead is dead and gone.  Thanks guys!  That was AWESOME defaulting there.

Norton Systemworks is a plague.

You think it's bad now...try getting rid of it.

Seriously tho', I found I couldn't do any development with either McCrappy or Norton installed on my system. What I do now is just turn off any ports and services I don't need and use Firefox and Thunderbird. Every once in awhile I scan with F-prot for DOS or I'll pop in a Linux Live CD and scan from there. So far this has worked very well for me.

Yeah, it seems to have really taken several tumbles down the long Microsoft/Creative Labs hill. Too many 'needed' functions all being jammed together into one happy hole that your main workstation becomes. Gah. I SO wish people wouldn't try and bundle and combine so many tools. It only causes bloatware to thrive and flourish, and makes it nearly impossible to really clear anything up at all when an insidious bug creeps in.

Hooray for the American Consumer Public that demands stupid innovation just to save a few milliseconds.

I've seen Norton chew up a lot of good PCs
