I reported an error in 2000 to them and the bug is still in their product.
I asked about Spyware protection in 2002 and they response was "It's not a virus."

So far all the responses are from people who vent their anger at Symatec, instead of answering the actual question. I guess it is a convenient place to vent. It's like saying the whole Armed Forces are useless bec. one soldier didn't protect your chicken coop, bec. he was off saving the town. (-:
I think Symantec has helped millions of people, and it's rated BY THE PROFESSIONALS as the best out there (even with its small errors).
What scares me the most? The new programs that infect your computer that don't have to be opened (see the article on this web site under "Commentary" "Security Watch".)

I feel much better doing that than using the actual program if I suspect my machine has been compromised.
You're "most scared" of what protects you the most?
