Symantec to identify safe software by 'reputation'

RE: Symantec to identify safe software by 'reputation': In order to accomplish this, Symantec would need a complete list of all the software installed on my computer - not just the infected software or infection rates. EULA not withstanding, isn't that pretty much the definition of spyware?

It also seems that if you are a software contractor, or a small ISV with a limited product offering then Symantec is creating a barrier to entry in the market..; Posted by: HooNoze Posted on: 10/24/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
