I am so enraged right now.
I had found a new virus and reported it many times to Symantec and they brushed me off by saying to call their Technical Support on the pay line! I sent them the screenshots three times - after they claim they didn't get them - and how I removed it and they kept saying to call their support line on *how to remove the dialer.* With all the concern about security they brush a threat.

I have lost faith!

I can't even type right now!

3. I had the old version
for years with no problems. Got the new one in March when it expired and I hate it. Hate it. It's a pain. My hard drive crashed (well maybe, could be the power supply), when the new one gets installed I'm not even going to reinstall Norton.

10. You haven't gotten through to the right people yet.
Can you call them and ask them to speak to a supervisor? :shrug:

12. I have McAfee and have had no problems so far
It auto-updates at least once a week and when I had to contact their support staff one time I got a prompt reply.

13. This one dialer I found slipped right through the Firewall and went
undetected by the various pieces of anti-spyware I have.

14. I did a firewall check recently and found
that all of my ports are "invisible" (or so it said).

I have two anti-spyware systems, the McAfee and Webroot Spysweeper for MSN.

15. Mine are invisible. I ran Spysweeper, Ad-Aware, Spybot,
Microsoft's Antispyware and Spyware x-Terminator. Nothing. The dialer was not listed on any of the sites either.

16. Damn, that's the way of the e-criminals
It seems no matter what tools people come up with to thwart them, they'll find a way around them :argh:
