I agree, but I think people should be aware of this:



It's just 2 that we are now aware of, regardless of their intentions, I think the point Russinovich is making is valid, the box is mine, not for someone else to put stuff on it without my knowledge, so if Norton and Sony had been upfront prior to your installing the product (out of the box ,unlike OEM's) then fine."buyer beware".
Tiger's got it again.... Norton has never hidden the Protected Recycling Bin... all you had to do was look to see how it functioned.... And again... it's not a bad thing... it was actually a good thing... you have to weight the risk vs the gain and I think for your average end user that the Protected Recycling Bin was a very good thing.. it saved a lot of asses from deleting files.... In reality.... it should have been left as is and instead of removing it with the update... the method of hiding it should have been shared with major AV / AntiSpyware vendors... allowing them to make it temporarily visible for scanning purposes....

Peace,
