Marcus Yam served as Tom's Hardware News Director during 2008-2014. He entered tech media in the late 90s and fondly remembers the days when an overclocked Celeron 300A and Voodoo2 SLI comprised a gaming rig with the ultimate street cred.

    Right I still remember the little scam that MCaffe pulled a few months ago and that the major movie and music conglomerates have been interested in having anti-virus scanners report pirated content.

    How many software companies can boost about the developement of a program designed specifically to remove any traces of their program from the end user's system (due to popular request).

    Yes, fishy indeed. I mean why host the entry form at http://spreadsheets.google.com? Seams a bit odd.

    Yes, install the trial so it can dig it's claws into your computer practiaclly infecting it like a virus.

    I have uninstall that program myself and it still prompts you puchase and install. I had to go online and download a special un-installer to get rid of it completely.

    There would have to some seriously wicked prize to get me to install the GOD-AWFUL PROGRAM. Like most of the other readers on Tom's, I happen to like it when my computer is fast, secure, and private. Are Symantec products any of these things? Not really...
