I bought a "bare box" machine, not long ago, that had "Do Not Install
Norton" posted in several places in the documentation as well as having
stickers on the case and packaging saying the same. FWIW

To each their own, but I've never had a problem with any Norton/Symantec
product dating back to '00 when I stopped using McAfee. I've ran it on
Win98se, ME and now XP Home. I've used it on store bought systems, my custom
built XP desktop and a new Dell laptop bought in May of this year. I'm just
lucky I guess.

You are right, to each his own. I once used McAfee, I as well, was not
pleased. For virus scanning software, I am running PC-cillin. I feel, there
is no need for the self installed computer management that most others
offer.
