I bought an Intel motherboard which came with a CD offering a trial of Symantec Internet Protection (SIP) firewall & antivirus package. After installing SIP, every reboot brought 10-20 error messages to the effect that so-and-so file was corrupted and I should "check it against the distribution CD." I went to Add/Remove Programs and I was told that removal was not allowed unless I logged into SIP first. This was impossible, so I had to reformat the hard drive!! Why does Symantec think that 1) I have the time or inclination to muck around debugging their installation software; and 2) They have some right to tell me what software I may or may not remove on my own machine! Last time I looked it was my machine, not Symantec's!
