Re: [Software] ATT Yahoo Online Protection w/Norton

YOP used Computer Associates AV, and last month it wasn't updating, so I reloaded the YOP. To my surprise it was Norton instead of CA. CA was fast and un-obtrusive. Norton has been nothing but a pain. It is very slow and every other time I turn on my PC, I have to re-boot. Yesterday I noticed that Norton said AV was OFF, while the YOP said AV was ON ???? I called Tier 1 and was told is is a Norton problem. I demanded Tier 2 and they told me I had to uninstall and reinstall. But I couldn't re-install until January because of un-specific "license issues". I found some company announcements on the 'net today that the Yahoo-Symantec partnership offers the NAV "free" for 30 days. Then it costs $50/yr.

Way to go AT&T Yahoo!!!! Take something that works great and screw it up. No way am I going to pay $50/yr for this piece of junk.

While I agree with your assessment of the quality and desirability of this piece of software, I don't believe this is a 30 day trial. I installed it on a test machine on 10/16 and it's still working and downloading updates.

Its not a 30-day trial. Its free to AT&T customers as long as you stay an AT&T customer.

However, it was pulled off the download site few days ago for XP users only due to all the issues associated with installing on XP. Also when it comes back up in mid-January, it will require minimum of 512MB of RAM.
