So where now up to Norton Antivirus 2009, Aka. Norton 360, now with 3 times the Kernal violations!
You all may remember that Norton 2000 violated the Kernal so much, it went so far as to replace the fucking recycle bin. And Norton 360 is no different.
Honestly, how does it do it! You would think that the Windows Kernal protection services layer, wouldn't even allow Norton to be installed! But it does... Some how...
Stop rewriting Windows Peter! You don't know what the hell your doing! At least get Microsoft to help you write your next round of kernal violation services! Jesus Christ, Windows is unstable enough without your programmers fucking it up even more!
Back to Norton 360, here's where it gets worse...
So apperietly Norton 360 runs with adminstative privalages under the SYSTEM account, and has direct acess to the regestry hives, and user accounts section of the harddrive, regardless of who's logged in and what privalages they have. So my mom calles me and says that printer sharing stoped working, so I go to check it out.
Apperiently, Norton 360 now deems file and printer sharing to much of a security risk to allow to function anymore (as of the last update), and willy nilly decided to disable that functionalty of windows.
Who the hell are thay to say what services I can and can't run!!!
So I had to reinstall file and printer sharing, plus the client for Microsoft networks.
You do this again, Peter, and I'm coming for your ass!
