Issue abstract: Norton Utilities “Ultimate” deleted most of my data
Detailed description:
I was using Norton Utilities Ultimate “Uninstaller” (part of “Manage Programs”) and uninstalled what I though to be just the program “Grammarly”, however this then managed to delete almost all of the programs from my laptop, including Steam, Blizzard, Browsers (Edge AND Chrome), most of my games, and most of the data associated with them. I cannot undo this in the “Undo Center” and when I tried to do a system restore, Windows could not complete it.
It was so bad that it actually made Norton Utilities “Ultimate” unusable. I was able to download Firefox from the windows play store/apps and use that to reinstall utilities. However I am still stuck and an impasse. To make it better, the original System Restore point has been overwritten AND my laptop periodically stops reading my wifi as accessible, so I have to restart randomly.
I was on a chat with remote access with support for 5 hours on Saturday, and was told it will “Be escalated to my senior” and that support would contact me again “Within 24-48 hours.” Well, 51 hours passed with no support so I opened a new chat, and then I called the help line. I got the same blurb that “They will be in contact as soon as possible” but I just don’t believe it now.
Nobody has helped me with processing a refund and extra for the trouble of losing 7 years of data.
