Norton is goed, maar voor iets nieuws wordt er onmiddellijk een nieuw programma opgezet tegen heel veel kosten per jaar. Norton is een geldwolf geworden.

Ik was grote fan van Bull Guard. Altijd 100% safe, geen vragen, geen extra's. Het werkte gewoon. Ik ben niet heel blij met Norton. Voor mijn gevoel moet ik er de hele tijd mee bezig zijn.
