Title: New Required Activation is a disaster
Review: After purchases of Norton software back to DOS days, this will probably be my last. I have never had previous problems with Symnatec/Norton and the activation feature they implemented appears to be the issue. In an effort to protect the product, they have made it unusable to the customer. Didn't Turbotax learn this same lesson after trying the same thing a couple of years ago? I have spent hours installing, uninstalling, following their online support error codes, etc. all to no avail. Finally had to use phone activation which requires you giving them about 20 alphanumerics and they give you back same. Mine then crashed and after transfer to support with a ticket the phone wait lasted in excess of 15 minutes and then was told I had to wait at least 15 minutes more. So still no active antivirus software and am now worse off than before even tried to activate!
Is this product review negative?
