This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

On that matter, why is Norton antivirus so popular? I don't remember being prompted to install one when installing Windows, yet I've seen a lot of people with it.

It comes preinstalled in a bunch of laptops.

strange, most IT professionals will tell you the only thing you need is Windows Defender and an ability to think before clicking strange download buttons

Not strange, most executives will sign a deal where another company gives them money for every laptop they sell with that company's product preinstalled.
