Sad! One isn't seeing Symantec get penetrated.

In fact, they are still ERECT and it is probably quite HARD to SCREW them up!

No one is beyond being hacked and no mater who you have for protection you are NEVER fully protected or safe. Symantec & McAffee suck, in my opinion.

Won't use them. Paid bloatware is all they have been for me. I just use AVG Free for viruses/malware and ZoneAlarm Free for firewall. It may not be bulletproof but works better than the paid bloatware that slows everything down.

Doesnt expecting the unexpected make the unexpected expected and therefore mean youre expecting the expected which was the unexpected until you expected it?

This isn't irony; neither of them make good firewalls. Well, Kaspersky is a decent firewall core, but only when combined with the Commodo configuration interface.
