I have been without antivirus protection for over two weeks and Symantec has not provided a way for me to fix this. Attached is the latest message I senr them. Symantec's AntiVirus Activation is still causing problems for some legal users. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise - and every little bit helps. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support.
NORTON ACTIVATION REPAIR TOOL CLOSES REGISTRATION
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites - especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis. Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. Thus, it does nothing to solve the problem, angers your customers, and drives people to competitors. Most of these people are going to go to a competitor, and will be quite vocal about why they would never purchase anything else from Symantec. So, the only people this is really impacting are the legitimate users of your product - and you're making their lives worse. You see offers for it all the time - and it only takes a hacker a little while to figure it out.
NORTON ACTIVATION REPAIR TOOL CLOSES SOFTWARE
The simple fact is that the software is still getting pirated. Here's a simple solution: follow Intuit's lead and ditch the activation technology altogether. Symantec is now saying that they're working on it, but can't figure out what the problem is, and can't suggest a date when they'll offer a fix. Symantec is having all sorts of trouble with their product activation technology, that is preventing many legitimate users from using the software they paid good money for. Unfortunately, other companies aren't quite so enlightened. Once they realized the pointlessness of it, they issued a very public apology on the matter. At least Intuit realized what a waste of time and money it was to put product activation technology into their software.
