Minimal Effect...
That kills me to hear a security company refer to any threat as "minimal" such that they don't do anything about it. Granted, the fix for the vulnerability has been available, but why isn't there a more proactive response from Symantec to help patch their customers' systems?

Symantec, for some reason beyond me, continues to be king of the industry in security. It's time for another contender to depose them. But who? Any single-label security solution will run into the same kinds of problems.

It's time for Managed Internet Security Companies to Step Up. Invisus Direct, maybe? I have written about them at my blog at projectnetsafe.com/blog
