Norton Fighter! Round 2?

It’s a pity Norton is such heavyweight junk it weighs your machine down to the point of unusability.

Much like Shoko-tan in a hazmat suit.

I agree w/ xorsyst. Norton isn’t very good, but this is good marketing. Japan gets such great marketing all over the place. Very creative. Here in the US marketing tends to be very bland.

That’s a bit of a mistranslation. “????” can mean either “in danger” or “dangerous”, with context being the decider. In this case, it’s pretty clear that they mean “I am in danger. You are in danger. Japan is in danger.”

Definitely not a fan of Norton, but that’s pretty good marketing. I’m not sure what kinda reputation Norton has in Japan, but it definitely can’t go wrong with Shokotan.
