Another McAfee/Symantec story <yawn> (none / 0) (#1)

Ed, I appreciate how you're trying to bring these things to light, and help folks out, but the fact that McAfee sells a crappy product with crappy support is hardly news.  Instead of wasting more space here on "yet another McAfee/Symantec install/upgrade/support problem", just send everyone who submits such a gripe a canned response, consisting of:

a) A list of all the previous Gripelog stories about these two companies

b) A list of links to free alternateives (AVG, Avast, ZoneAlarm, Kerio, etc).
