How the freaking hell is someone a tool because of the actions of a company they sold more than thirty years ago? Exactly HOW?

Guilty by association, I guess.
Like John McAfee, as you said, Peter Norton has sold his company decades ago and today's product is just garbage, and he has to forever live with the affiliation.

Ever heard of a pun? Innuendo? Do you say Norton Tools or Norton? Is he being taken "advantage of"? If you look hard enough, you can find misery in anything.

You got it; everyone else did; except one looking for it.

Long gone are the days of Norton being the darling in the hearts and minds of pc vendors offering it as the antivirus on new pcs having given way to (Bad) McAfee Livesafe and (Better) Windows defender. So like other companies swan songs Norton lashes out and does this. Which means they don't care anymore. I don't think they have for the last decade.

Ever since Peter Norton sold his software to Symantec it's gone downhill from a useful suite of tools to a bloated nightmare that consumes system resources for no apparent reason.
At least now there's a reason.

I'll take it if you want.
Would you prefer your clue posted - in which case give me a PM with clue and solution - or one of mine?

On second thought, I would not deprive you of trying to solve the clue. I will make sure I post it on time! I think this is a new style here.

The Disney Afternoon Studio Chorus - Chip 'N' Dale's Rescue Rangers Theme Song[^]
During my Christmas break I found this Disney album on Spotify.
It features some great tracks from my youth, the themes of Duck Tales, Gummi Bears, Tale Spin and Rescue Rangers.
I was actually searching for the Gummi Bears theme as I heard it in a piano medley by Lara6683 (can't really remember where or which, I think this one Another Mega Medley - YouTube[^]).
So needless to say I gave them a listen and then they turned out the be just great tracks with more to them than the minute you see on TV 
Especially the Rescue Rangers theme got stuck in my head, it has some strong 80's vibes and has been on repeat since.
So the first SOTW of the year is a bit of nostalgia disguised as this awesome song

I remember the cartoon and also had the NES game

A friend of my cousin had the NES game.
A friend of mine had Duck Tales.
I had Tale Spin.
Rented Darkwing Duck at some point.
Haven't finished any of them as we were like six years old and we sucked
I think I came pretty darn close with Tale Spin though.
Good old times

Very catchy!
Here's a tune I shared over the holiday. It's from a group I'd never heard of, and more of the songs on that playlist are worthy of perusal: YOU MAN - "BIRDCAGE"

First second: younger Tiffani Thiessen in short tank top.
Second second: I've upvoted.
Music is awesome too, great find

Listening through it again: another great! YOU MAN - ALTERED STATES I'm always happy when I come across stuff like this that I've missed in the past!
(Or should I pretend to be a young millennial, and say "...stuff like this that I've missed in the passed?")

I've been listening to You Man almost non-stop since yesterday

That makes two of us! And yesterday wasn't my first day!

Great song! I've heard several other great Worakls remixes over the years, so they are worth checking out. Here's the one stashed in my library: N'to - Trauma (Worakls Remix). Kind of slow compared to most of my likes, but nice background stuff. Hell, you probably keyed me into them years ago, for all I remember!
