Just because you paid for a turd, doesnt mean you have to keep eating it. :p	1101 (13337)

Unfortunately so many people I speak to have that mentality... "Oh its OK I've paid for Norton AV so I'll use it until it runs out then change". To which I casually respond "You're better off having nothing then, you may as well be unprotected and just have a faster PC".	Chilling_Silence (9)

Ive given up now, If the customer insists on keeping it & wont listen to advice, I wont try & reason with them. Yet Ive never had one complaint after removal, or customer wanting it put back on after they get the PC back & start using it. :-)	1101 (13337)

It signposts those who should really have warning signs or foil hats displayed at all times, while simultaneously punishing them by extracting a fine and limiting their ability to maneuver much the same as a ball and chain was.
