Norton PC Checkup
Okay, I've heard friends and some neighbors complaining about this program that I think comes pre-installed on certain computers or laptops ie Toshiba, etc
Apparently, if a virus is detected by this tool, it pops up on the screen, just plain annoying the user, because they can't close it out, unless they purchase a Norton product.
Meaning, they'd rather be working with an infected system as opposed to getting it protected. And usually these computers come pre-installed with a trial ver. of Norton (like 60 days), when time runs out, they get a nag screen pop up.
Some say that Norton shouldn't be dictating being their salvation and should have the right to choose when they want their systems cleaned.
And that this is a marketing ploy to practically force users to make a purchase.
Agree, disagree?
