Pathetic
Ok... the SECURITY software is the security hole? This is the definite proof that Symantec has (as Scotty would say) been overthinking the plumbing and made it easy to stop up the drain.

This is just pathetic.

Nortons security software has created worm infection entry points.

My work computer uses MacAfee and I can't STAND it. The performance hit is unacceptable at times. Much worse than Nortons in my experience.

Is there any decent antivirus software out there that (A) works, (B) dosn't make the computer MORE vulnerable and (C) doesn't kill performance.
