Author Topic: Norton killed my steam ;(  (Read 2154 times)

I just installed Norton antivirus (I know it sucks) on my computer.
Everything was fine until I noticed that I had installed it in the wrong folder, and that it dumped thousands of program files in my programs folder.
I couldn't move it, neather, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled.
That's when I noticed that it had pulled steam into the portal of uninstallness, and all my steam games with it. Also it removed Pinnacle Studio, a GIF program and Game maker.
It will take at least 24 hours to reinstall all games. I now hate Norton, and it disturbs me that it's installed on my computer again.

I bet it's happy that it did that.
