Don't know what the fuck just happened...my computer shut down and restarted by itself, came back and said "Norton has installed necessary updates.."
And now Parental controls are turned on and I can't get to 90% of the internet including our company site and my email (oddly enough QBN is a-ok). I've never used Norton in my life and always had it shutdown on this machine...now I can't change it or even uninstall it without some sort of "supervisor password" WTF...fuck you Norton...I hate your shit..worst ever..

If you are on PC just start it up in Safe mode and remove it.

Guys - The reason people use norton in business is because of REPUTATION.
They are the biggest anti-virus and have got a foothold as the business solution for AV.
Think about it - If your clients files were lost due to a virus on your system, and in turn they lose money for it .. if it came to court at least you'd have a leg to stand on by saying you had the latest updates available.

True but there are far better solutions than Norton. Trend is a million times better, http://emea.trendmicro.com/emea/… used it at my old company and it was the nuts. But you are 100% right with losing client files due to not having the latest gear.

Yes Trend is better, but that doesn't matter in the business world which is technically better. If you use a product that nobodies heard of, that has been time-tested... you could be in trouble.
Incidentally, I hate norton's stuff. Apart from Corporate edition AV. That thing is fantastic.

For the record this stupid parental control thing blocks cnn, yahoo and gmail, but I can see qbn and a couple of porn sites! Quality stuff.

haha yes, I've tried to get decent filtering. Fail.

Is there a default supervisor password on this crapolla? or maybe just blank? (We're a small company and I am essentially the IT department - what two computers and a network box...) the Norton that runs on this thing I never set up, never got any updates for it or subscriptions..just let it sit there without removing it..and now this shit...
