I’ve been a big fan of Norton Utilities and so on (now Symantec); I’ve used the products since my 286 days.

Like MS Word, each new cut of the product has had more features but way more bloat, most of which I will never use. And finding the stuff you need to find is, today, almost impossible.

A couple of days ago, I renewed by subscription to Norton Internet Security (virus, spam, ad blocking etc – the suite), and the email confirming it took two days to arrive.

And that email ended up in the (irony alert!) [Norton] spam folder.

Next time I think I’m going to look for a different solution…
