Hackers in India Leak Symantec Source Code

Regardless whether the claims of Norton "turning around" are true or not, paying for AV software is absurd, only displaying one's lack of knowledge by doing so (excluding the company level).

[citation][nom]captaincharisma[/nom]its a top product because it ships with almost every computer. then when the user finds out how bad it is they remove it and install a better AVits just like intel being the leader in GPU sales because new computers include integrated graphics on there mobos[/citation]

Another one who just crawled out of the cave of Afghanistan....Please read up some reviews before showing your ignorance again.

Going by your logic, paying for OS or any other software also absurd when we can pirate it. Yeah, you're da man.

ignorance? i think not. you know they count those trial versions that come pre-installed on new PC's as sales. they are the kind of company that would do that sort of thing

We're not talking about how many sales it does. We're talking about the quality of the product. And NIS delivers. There's a reason why it is constantly getting good reviews the last few years. So what if it comes with trial version on new PCs?? This will automatically makes it a bad product??? :x By this logic than all the Windows 7 which comes pre-installed also sucks. You better use Linux then.

where the hell do you get me saying trial version=bad product? whatever you are smoking i want some.

the only way this is a considered a good product is because norton and mcafee are the only 2 AV's that come with new PC's so joe blow doesn't know about anything else. if ESET or kaspersky had the same kind of deal then norton would be considered one of the worst

Nice try, bro. My point is that there are numerous free alternatives available among the large selection of AV software online, which are equal, if not far superior, to paid offerings (such as Norton), and so paying for one would be largely irrational. Thanks for the compliment, though.
