NO you pay me to use it, I find their software is crappy , even the uninstaller locks up
I like Norton utilies and I install it lean and mean, I am like you I hate a block long system tray and yet everyone wants to put something in there now
Let Mcrapeee collect dust and give Norton a spin
I do not install any crash gard stuff since it crashes your system, I only run my antivirus and zonealarm in my tray
Happy computing
