Is there really a class action lawsuit against symantec?

I checked my email a short time ago and read that there was a class action lawsuit against Symantec for not providing refunds to people when they upgraded a service while they were still subscribed to, and had time left, on the predecessor to that service.
I googled Symantec and did not find anything new or anything relating to the specific case mentioned in that email. It got past gmail's spam filter so I am thinking it was legitimate.
Anyone else have information? I could really use a nice little check at this point in my life, even if its teeny tiny, it would still buy bus fare.

I know. That's my contribution to the thread.

Obvious question: did you try uninstalling it?
Pretty soon the latest craze will be installing anti virus software so antivirus software won't install itself.
Yes, and removed it from "Add or Remove programs"

My friend, google the norton removal tool, it is a very nice free gift that symantec offers. In fact I would go as far to say it is the best product they offer
I actually had to reformat my mother-in-laws' PC because of that. Well, that and the fact that she had so many viruses that Norton didn't catch that it took 10 minutes to do anything at all. And connected to the internet through AOL when she was paying for Comcast.
Anyway, I'd do a backup and reformat that ish. It's a bear, but it doesn't hurt to do it once every few years. Nothing cleans the pipes like replacing them, so to speak.
I get a chuckle out of the concept that a company's best product is one that removes all the others they produce from your computer.
"You can't get rid of us. Good thing we're on your side! Right?!

Oh, you don't want us anymore. Well, here's a tool to dig us out of your foundation."
Why thank you, I'll have to do that when/if it comes back again.

I thought it was some kind of scam...
You've almost certainly gotten viruses if you don't have some sort of protection against them. Most of them are designed to be as quiet as possible... they're not going to pop up windows, shove shit all over your system32 folder and make a great big production out of themselves, they're just going to sit tight as quietly as can be and track any possible personal information.
I don't know why people think that the big annoying viruses are the only ones that exist, or that they're the most dangerous. Those ones just want to sell you a scam product most of the time. The ones with more nefarious things in mind don't want you to know they're there, so they're going to make damn sure you never see any trace of them.
That said, Norton is a hunk of shit that's too busy trying to integrate itself into every facet of your computer to bother with any sort of reasonable, reliable detection scheme.
Bingo, thats it. So is that a real lawsuit or a scam?
Last time I used Norton it detected a trojan horse in some essential Windows files. Couldn't heal the file so it automatically quarantined it instead.
Fucking brilliant way to fix the problem.
WHAT THE FUCK IS RONG WITH YOU?
So, yeah. I hope someone is suing their stupid asses.
before it tho, i had McAfee, which COMPLETELY RAPED my computer.
Edit:I just looked at my computer, and McAfee is installed.D: I guess my parents bought it AGAIN.

This is the right answer.
Except for the Black Ice part. That shit is balls.
Get AVG.
Or you know, use firefox and some protection plugins.
Or a Mac.
Seriously, how hard is it NOT to click a suspicious e-mail? Or any banner ads? Or download anything from a website that looks shady? I mean holy fucking shit, it really blows my mind that people STILL haven't figured this out.
While I agree with you, some viruses are more sophisticated and can infect your system without you doing anything but having an non-up-to-date OS or application. Granted most of those can be stopped if you set up your router correctly, but I still remember a friend hooking up his new PC and within 5 minutes (before he could install SP2) he had been hit with a virus.
