Re: Installer 3.1 error 0x80070005

The only purpose of Symantec "products" is to take money from unsuspecting Users. It's so-called protection is laughable.
The drag it puts on a system shows that it's not designed for any Windows OS.

Malware is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system, without the owner's informed consent.
