My 2-month old HP Slimline w/pre-installed Win7 suddenly said that “Window is not genuine” 2 days ago. I find it interesting that this notice coincided with my trial Norton Internet Security 11 expiration date. The site MS takes me to to determine if the OP is “genuine” or not cranks away for hours, while saying “Please wait. This might take a few moments.” I may not live long enough to see its determination.
I suspect this would not have happened had I handed over my credit card # to Norton. I suspect also that it corrupted a critical file as it died.
It may be flash-bang fast, but I have better use for my money than pay for software that has caused me so much grief.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
