Norton Internet Security Design Document

The following is an actual* design document from Symantec documenting how their Norton Internet Security Suite should work.

int main()
{ // This gives the impression of something important
long wasteTime = 100000000000;

for(int i = 0; i <>
{
// Insert code to make the hard drive chatter a lot but not do any work.
// This should take about two minutes.
// block all other processes from running.
i++;
}
// Pop up the icon in the system tray
}

As you can see from this highly detailed design document, Norton Internet Security doesn't really do anything. When you turn your computer on, it only *appears* to be doing any work, when in reality it is just causing the hard drive to chatter a lot and block other processes from their opportunity to start. So, boycott Norton! Get a real anti-virus software like AVG and then put a decent firewall on your network.

Oh, and that last posting by RMT CTL was not mine. It was Kristin's. Jon, will you create her a login so that she can do her own posts? From the look of things, we can all see who we don't like. (ahem, VIOLINS/VIOLAS!) :)

*actual as in Jason made this up because he hates Norton Internet Security.
