Three times this week, I've had to make service calls to elderly folk who couldn't figure out how they got this, or how to get rid of it.  I felt very badly charging them for Malware that was instituted by a known, and now very less respected company.  I hope it's not long before other Security Software companies issue automated removal tools.

Norton Security Scan = Hostage Ware, either buy it or pay someone else to remove it.

PS. Casual computer users are scared of regedit, Symantic/Norton get a clue.  Didn't we just read about this being done in China?  A SECURITY company creating a virus to sell there Security Software?  Look it up on your favorite search engine.
