Users of Symantec AntiVirus 10.x be warned > Link

Wouldn't ever use Symantec products personally.

Have to agree with you on their products moved to NOD32 for virus protection.

Oh what a suprise !!!!

I would never use Norton antivirus.

At the computer shop I have lost count of the amount of PC's I have worked on with NAV on them with the latest updates. Everytime without fail, A scan of the drive in safe mode with AVG picks up loads of infections.

I would not even use the disk to keep the door open in the summer.

Bwahahahahaha, now that's a big mess-up for Symantec... Had NAV once... Uninstalled it, formatted etc... Just wasn't worth the effort.
