Symantec is failing in every way....
I deal with thousands of computers a year, most of which have Symantec products pre-installed. The average home user knows they need antivirus software, so they stick with Norton when there sunscription runs out, unaware of free programs that work much better such as AVG FREE. (http://free.grisoft.com)

So Symantec has a greater portion of the security market cornered due to their contracts will most major PC manufacturers. The problem is they have re-routed corporate assets toward expanding their company, such as the Veritas aquisition, when they should be focusing on the quality of their products and customer service. I have seen Symantec's software cause more problems than viruses themselves lately!

We recommend removal of all Symantec related products excluding Ghost to all of our clients and will continue to do so as long as Symantec ignores the home end users that made their business in the first place.
