Norton Anvirus 2005 - the slime of Symantec

With powerful new version of Trojans and Viruses becoming major concerns for companies and home users Norton Antivirus has a problem. The problem some may say has only to do with there product which Symantec admits has "tiny security issues". What's more troubling (and an underlying issue) is the fact that Symantec spreads misinformation to try and cover up the truth.

"Symantec would like to reiterate that the situation described is one of access rather than threat. The VBS scripts described can only be successfully run on the target system with administrator rights"

Is this a joke? Does Symantec really not care about there customers? In reality 99% of all people running windows HAVE to run there there application logged into there systems as an administrator, most applications don’t work any other way. So while Symantec spreads misinformation customers get infected. I wonder how many people will wonder: "Hmm, How’d this get past my Antivirus, did I get duped?"
