  1. Review - Norton AntiVirus

    2008 (15.5.0.23) (Mar 23, 2008)

    Got charged for renewal of software by these folks on credit card I used a year ago to purchase for a friend. My e-mails to them went unanswered. I had to dispute charge with credit card company. I bet I end up fighting this again next year.
    My fault I know for not carefully reading the agreement that said I was signing up forever.

    My advice:

    If you must use their limiting products be very carefull what you sign up for.

  2. Review - McAfee VirusScan for Windows

    8.0 Build 8008 Beta (Jul 19, 2003)

  4. Comment - EchoStar Wins Stay of TiVo Injunction

    8.0 Build 8008 Beta (Aug 20, 2006 - 11:18 AM)

    TiVo had the rights, Earthstar coppied it without the rights to it. Simple case, they thought TiVo would run out of money, they didn't and won the case.

    Earthstart was wrong, plain and simple and now they must pay. I suspect they will come out with a new version and will have to give it free to all current DVR owners.
