Re: What is Norton LiveConnect ? I found this article. »www.informationweek.com/news/sho···ing+News
Codydog, you're famous 
quote:
It downloaded and installed itself yesterday apparently from LiveUpdate," wrote a user identified as "codydog" on the DSLReports.com message forum Tuesday. "Did Symantec just force me to d/l [download] and install a marketing tool for them, that doesn't even ask if I want it? It just self-installs?"
Later the same day, codydog added "I'm going to assume that its [sic] some sort of adware Symantec is pushing out to users [and] that Symantec's policy is to install adware on users pcs/workstations without even asking for permission.

| Zoder -- Thanks ! And yeahhhh for me.
To : InformationWeek guy -- you misqouted me. I was asking for an explanation from Symantec and none was posted. Hence the second comment. You're not being fair to SYMC.
To : SYMC guy -- I know you'll read this, so, dont hide. Your comment, "...It's not adware. We're not trying to sell anyone anything...", is simply odd. Shouldnt SYMC be trying to sell software to every possible person on the planet? Isnt giving updates a marketing tool to get more long term users?
I'm going to ask that question on the next conference call. If you dont know what that means, ask your IR folks. |

| Better yet, Symantec, why not just explain what LiveConnect is and exactly what it does? |
