It is a shame that it might die but it's not the Norton anyway technically as Garner bought the brand name and started again...and clearly knows nothing about running a vehicle manufacturing company...or indeed one in general as he basically screwed many, many people over while coming out of it "ok" himself.

Basically, Garner killed the business and brand along with screwing over loads of suppliers and customers (and internal staff too).

Nothing recent, but few years back the amount of app installed because of the Norton suite, and many reinstall because of corrupted OS (98, XP).
Since then, either Kaspersky or the one from Microsoft.

Back then motorcycles:

Personally never got Norton's anyway, as a brand.

I'd never ridden one and have no idea if they are any good, but give an example of Harley Davidson, now I know they are not amazing bikes on a practical performance side, but they have style.

Norton to me, didn't seem to have either
