My Norton Security system has been reminding me to upgrade for several weeks now, so I finally decided to spend a few minutes ordering the new version.
After logging onto the Symantec site and laboriously entering my order information, I pressed Submit. The response has got to be the worst error message ever. Click the image below to see it in all its retarded glory.

Destiny is my science fiction movie about the future of humanity. It's an epic, similar in breadth and scope to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Hi,
You really shouldn't be using Norton Internet Security - review after review has shown that it's totally ineffective against the vast, vast majority of spyware. It has numerous, almost laughable, flaws that allow malware authors to get around its security - and NIS being a popular choice just about every bit of spyware released uses these methods.
I suggest you remove it.

Symantec is Crap for the most part. I work in Information Security and I recommend downloading the Zone Alarm Firewall (free), Spybot, and moving to McAfee or AVG (free)
