This was my experience with Symantec software, too.

Yes, but it's terribly nerdy to blithely dismiss these stories if you don't use/like/know-anything-about the software, isn't it?

Thus, still really suitable for posting to this site.

Yes.

So, once you finally detect that you have some malware (how do you do that, again?) you are ready to go back to some backup that doesn't have the malware (how do you know which backup saveset to pick?) that may be months or years-old.

It sounds to me like you just lost months or years of data and code updates, even if you can guarantee the backup you chose to restore from was good (no malware).

or, possibly, fractured rib and skin cancer.

Did the dealer apply the firmware update yet? Or maybe that doesn't apply to your model-year?

I'd like to hear back on how your mpg fares after the software 'improvements'.

Thanks,
