Thor SchrockHOST
But it dramatically increased the level of your security.
Thor SchrockHOST
In a world where we're trying to sell safe upgrade and Norton is saying the Schrock Innovations website is not a safe website to check out from.
Thor SchrockHOST
And we're like, okay, is there anything that we missed? Like Alfonso, is there something that we missed? Are we on some spam list somewhere or something? And he's like, no, amigo, I cannot find nothing, you know? And I'm like, okay, you know, AI team, Ernesto, Chad, Jace, Slash, Max, all of you.
Thor SchrockHOST
Do any of you see anything that would cause us to be reported as a spam page or something that would not survive checkout with Norton? They're like, no, boss, we even checked the Norton lists and we're not even on the Norton list.
Thor SchrockHOST
We don't understand why we're being detected as that.
Thor SchrockHOST
That's what garbage the Norton software is.
Thor SchrockHOST
It is absolute trailer trash garbage.
Thor SchrockHOST
In my opinion, I have to say in my opinion so that I don't get sued.
Dax Xavier JosiahHOST
you know, and stuff like that.
Dax Xavier JosiahHOST
Even Norton's, like the antivirus protection company gets breached every so often.
Dax Xavier JosiahHOST
It's like, it's crazy, but they do, I will say this, it does get troubleshooted very quickly.
Dax Xavier JosiahHOST
So that's another reason why I'm not worried because they usually remedy the issue very quickly and stuff like that.
Dax Xavier JosiahHOST
Or so a lot of times, if you Google it, it'll say, you know, scam alert.
Dax Xavier JosiahHOST
something like that or it'll say or somebody on reddit you know will ask about it because they got the same thing or whatever like that so there are ways to really protect yourself in these situations so i'm just want to put that out there for people take it don't take it both take it with a grain of salt but also use critical thinking in the process you know you see something that just doesn't look right use your critical thinking and basically react to it and, and, and, you know, check out, look, you know, research it, you know, that's the best way to protect yourself.
Dax Xavier JosiahHOST
And of course having, you know, uh, McAfee or, or VPN or, um, not McAfee or Norton's or, um, or any really good antivirus protection stuff will help as well.
Dax Xavier JosiahHOST
So just want to put that out there and just hopefully that it doesn't happen to you.
Adam LittlefieldGUEST
Good to know.
Adam LittlefieldGUEST
I've also really seen before on a lot of systems with, say, Norton and McAfee, those two are actually installed a lot of times together.
Adam LittlefieldGUEST
I'm not sure if it's just because they install alongside other bundled programs, but that is something to look out for.
Adam LittlefieldGUEST
If on your system you have multiple antiviruses, especially Norton and McAfee, if you've been noticing your system's running pretty slowly, you might have the problem right there.
Adam LittlefieldGUEST
So another thing to think about as well is your office programs, Microsoft Office programs like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, the programs that tons of us are just familiar with every day and reliant on really exactly.
Adam LittlefieldGUEST
And these programs are behind a paywall.
Travis WrightGUEST
And then I became the global digital strategist at Symantec.
Travis WrightGUEST
And for the Norton Antivirus brand, that was around the time that I'd met you.
Travis WrightGUEST
Had that whole ordeal with Save Our Chiefs, which ended up getting me and seven others Super Bowl rings from that whole dynasty.
Travis WrightGUEST
If you've not heard that story, go read that somewhere.
Jill BryantHOST

Vin StoneHOST
AV or McAfee or Norton.
Vin StoneHOST
Norton was one.
Vin StoneHOST
But those were, you know, when the cure was almost as bad as the problem, right? Because those were notoriously hard to get rid of.
Vin StoneHOST
And then later on, they ended up effectively being adware.
PeterHOST
And he goes on to explain, that's whether it's a guy with, a girl with one, 10, $100 million.
PeterHOST
So how do you remember this banger fact? The Norton virus is how I do it, right? There's some software called Norton Antivirus.
PeterHOST
Professor Michael Norton from Harvard Business School came up with the Norton virus.
PeterHOST
Do you agree with that one? What do you think?
Luke KielyGUEST
The drivers are a me- are varied, just like any physical traditional criminal, is what I would say.
James DonovanHOST
When I hear people talk about cybersecurity, and I don't know, my mind kind of... and this may be completely off, but even, like, jumping over to Norton Antivirus from years ago and just, like, making sure the computer's set up properly.
James DonovanHOST
I might be very naive in thinking, "Well, it won't happen to me.
James DonovanHOST
There's billions of people out there." You know, knock on wood right now.
Michael ArmstrongHOST
20 questions about the identity and actions of the mole.
Michael ArmstrongHOST
Whoever knows least goes home, except for the mole who can never go home, unless Norton Antivirus cancels them first.
