Norton to Come Pre-Installed on Acer PCs
(Source: Norton)
Since January, new owners of Acer notebooks and desktops would have spotted a cute, little Norton CD pre-loaded with either Norton Antivirus or Internet Security 2006. That was part of a 3-year deal Acer made with Norton, which for some reason or another, has been modified this week.
What will happen is that Norton’s software will now be pre-installed, rather than pre-loaded with new Acer PCs. The install will be for a 90-day trial, which you can opt to buy when the trial period runs out.
Good? Bleh. Yet another so-so pre-install, and only a trial too. But if you’re a Norton-lover, like many mainstream users are, then you probably have nothing to complain about.
