Symantc Experience (none / 0) (#11)

Three comments: 1) I steer many people over to Compuserve's (yes, it still exists) Virus Central Forum where staffers and users there have pointed users to many links on the Symantec site that solve many of the problems .... Symantec apparently just doesn't make it easy to find them. I find it an excellent source of advice for Symantec as well as other products. http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-viruscentral&nav=start 2) I just renewed our 52 seat license to F-Prot for $216. Compare that with $251 for a Norton 5 pak. 3) My first try with F-Prot came as a trial after I was fighting with Norton for "not playing well with others" and with McAfee for refusing to download updates. I had installed F-Prot on all but one machine at that point when AnnaK hit and F-Prot nailed it even w/o a def update. The Norton box got infected.
