    Good point, JP.

    I can see the procmail filter now:

    Code:
    :0 B:
    * (symantec|norton)
    ! marketing@symantec.com
    \"Windows has detected that a gnat has farted in the general vicinity. You must reboot for changes to take affect. Reboot now?\"

    I think its safe to say that this makes about as much sense as Bill Clinton hiring Larry Flynt to be his PR man.....

    It isn't paranoia when you KNOW they're out to get you...

    Yeah, not too good. But maybe this means norton will have more up to date updates Maybe we'll see norton come out with more features, or a whole new product to fix bugs. Who knows, we just have to wait and see. But I like norton, the only thing I no longer trust bugtraq for, would be for bugs relating to norton products. The blame for things like that might be shifted to somebody else.
