Re: antivirus comparison

[gerald <geraldf () westernsaw com>]

Just one note on Norton...Once they released their A-V product that required
any logged in user to be a local administrator in order to update the virus
definitions, they immediately became persona non grata.  

In my opinion, to not want to spend the R&D dollars necessary to have the
program achieve proper registry permissions in order to update without
exposing a HUGE security risk is inexcusable for a security company.  Nor
did they announce this right up front.  We trustfully bought the product
before we found out and threw it out.   

They have clearly shown that they value the corporate bottom-line over the
customer's safety....ergo as to A-V comparison, we start with
ABN..."Anything But Norton".  We wont easily forget how we got taken!
